After Hours at Royal Armouries Leeds

I’ve always enjoyed a good after hours session but it has usually meant a lock-in at the local pub for a couple more illicit pints, tonight, however, it was a much more sophisticated affair being the launch of Royal Armouries Gin. Not only that, but the chaps at Rolling Social, Lee and Ben, had devised…

The Colour of Anxiety at Henry Moore Institute

Another first for me, the opening night of a sculpture exhibition. The subtitle is Race, Sexuality and Disorder in Victorian Sculpture so pretty intriguing. Fortunately we were treated to an introduction to the works on show by Laurence Sillars, Head of the Henry Moore Institute, who said that the exhibits raised questions about the Victorians’…

Winter Social at The Tetley

I have had some great nights at The Tetley, both in its original form as a brewery, where I was treated to several tours, and in its present incarnation as a gallery, restaurant, bar and, in summer, outside street food venue. Wednesday was no exception when I was invited to the launch of the new…

Leeds Tequila Festival at The Tetley

What better day than Friday, 22nd July to celebrate tequila, being just two days before the United States’ National Tequila Day. OK, I have answered my own question there but I feel that Friday evening is far more conducive to celebrating anything than is a Sunday. There is much more to tequila than meets the…

Pottery Workshop at The Craft Centre and Design Gallery

I recently wrote an article about The Craft Centre and Design Gallery and was really disappointed that the workshops scheduled for the Spring/Summer Season clashed with events I had already committed to attending. By a quirk of fate one was moved meaning that I could benefit from both that one and this. Result! The workshop…

Tequila Festival at The Tetley

Friday, 22nd July sees the first Leeds Tequila Festival which will be held at The Tetley, but you knew that already from the heading. The event is being organised by Rolling Social Events who have already brought us festivals of rum, gin and whisky, in fact they have probably put more people in touch with…

Leeds International Festival of Ideas 2022

27th April saw the launch of Leeds International Festival of Ideas which, unlike previous years, will be staged over a single weekend between 22nd and 25th September, and also in a single venue, Howard Assembly Room. Some of the events will be run concurrently utilising the Mantle Music Studio in the same building. In all…

Leeds Whisky Festival at the Corn Exchange

My trip to the Leeds Whisky Festival was not only to sample my favourite spirit, but to right a wrong which had been eating away at me for several years. More of that later, first there was booze to savour. Rolling Social Events have already had Rum Festivals, a Gin Fair and a Christmas Market…

Spring/Summer in Leeds 6 – The Craft Centre and Design Gallery

This year The Craft Centre and Design Gallery is celebrating its 40th Birthday and is kicking off the celebrations with a very appropriate exhibition called Spring: Blossom 40 Years in the Making. 2022 not only marks gallery’s 40th but also that of Anna Lambert’s time working in ceramics. She makes hand-built earthenware ceramics using a…

Christmas in Leeds – Part 1

Well, here we are again back in festive mood after last year’s cancellation of Christmas. It didn’t make much difference to we singletons with no close family but it will be great to get together with friends on the run-up to the big day. Bearing that in mind, here is the first of a short…
