Helping you get the most out of your stay

Myriad of things to do in Leeds

Leeds is home to some of the most iconic pieces of English history. West Yorkshire has had its fair share of important moments throughout time. Head to the Royal Armouries Museum to spot Henry VIII’s armour, try your hand at sword combat and learn about some of the more experimental historic weaponry. If you’re not afraid of a little gore, try Thackray Medical Museum instead. Interactive displays take you through the history of medicine, from Victorian operating theatres to modern technologies. Alternatively, immerse yourself in local history with a trip to the National Coal Mining Museum for England, complete with restored colliery, underground tours and pit ponies.

If you’re travelling to Leeds city to see an event, there’s a good chance you’ll be headed to the First Direct Arena. This iconic venue has held host to countless famous musicians, bands and cultural events. Catch an exciting musical or watch an iconic legend as they hit the stage. Located in the heart of Leeds city, Direct Arena is within walking distance of all the other wonders Leeds has to offer visitors. And don’t forget to see if Leeds United are playing while you’re stopping over too.

If you want to discover English history from the beauty of the great outdoors, Leeds is the perfect place. Kirkstall Abbey, a well-preserved 12th-century monastery, is a glorious, atmospheric spot, with a visitor centre and sprawling parkland to roam. Looking for a taste of grand country life? Harewood House is unmissable. The 18th-century stately home is filled with priceless art pieces and magnificent interiors. For something truly spectacular, head to the bird garden where you can see flamingos, penguins and owls roaming freely.

Visit Leeds for pubs, parks & more

Leeds is known for its friendly locals, cosy pubs, delightful restaurants and glorious greenery. When the sun is shining, make the most of it with a trip to Roundhay Park. Wander the spacious natural areas and let the kids run wild on the playgrounds and sports fields. Head out of the city and enjoy the beautiful Golden Acre Park. The landscaped gardens, wildfowl lake and peaceful meadow are perfect for whiling away the hours on a glorious summer’s day.

If the weather is stereotypically British, there are plenty of fun indoor activities to keep the whole family entertained. Soap fans, rejoice! One of Britain’s best-loved soaps, Emmerdale, is at home in Leeds. Pull a pint in The Woolpack, live the life of a Dingle at Wishing Well Cottage or get stuck in at Home Farm on the Emmerdale Studio Experience.

If you prefer retail therapy to soap gossip, head to Salts Mill for a tranquil afternoon wandering around the shops, exhibitions and grabbing a coffee in the espresso bar. Leeds city is also home to all kinds of independent shops, where you can find hidden treasures and family-run businesses.
