We attended the Introduction to Wine tasting day in Leeds at Stockdales restaurant. We thought we knew a little bit about wine already but wow we were wrong! This was a fantastic day from start to finish, very relaxed but so informative, what they don’t know about wine isn’t worth knowing and banished a lot of the myths I’d heard and believed. We’re now drinking a larger variety of wines rather than going for the same bottle every time. The wines sampled were also available at supermarkets so easily accessible if you want them again. This day is suitable for complete novices and also if you’ve been a wine fan for years, we learnt loads! Also the venue was great and included a delicious dinner. Make sure you get the train or bus home, we were a wee bit merry as kept going back for another ‘taste’ of the delicious wines. We will be back again for a different session to continue our education. Thank you!

Welcome to the Leeds Minster - a place of worship and service for the fast-moving modern city of Leeds. Leeds Minster is one of England's best-loved Parish Churches and at our heart is a sacred choral tradition. Our origins date back to the greatest of the Victorian Vicars of Leeds, Dr Hook. It was during his 22-year incumbency that today's Minster Church of St Peter at Leeds was built - an astonishing building consecrated with great ceremony on 2 September 1841 in the presence of a vast congregation including the celebrated Florence Nightingale. In 2012 we were granted Minster status. Today you can visit the Minster for worship - whether for a few minutes of calm contemplation at a mid-week Choral Evensong or for the richness of a Sunday Choral Eucharist. We invite all to walk around and soak up the atmosphere of a building rich in history and heritage, light a votive candle, listen to the famous organ and round it all off with an enjoyable light lunch in our Refectory. If you do have not the time for an extended personal visit, but happen to pass the Minster on foot, by train, by bus, or in your car, do listen out for the Bells and do pray for us as we pray for you.

The church of St John the Evangelist is a rare church as few were built during the Carolian period (the reign of Charles I - Carolus being the Latin form of Charles). St John the Evangelist was founded by John Harrison, a wealthy wool merchant in 1634AD. Harrison was well known for his acts of philanthropy and his contribution to the civic development of Leeds. Amongst his acts of benevolence Harrison built twenty almshouses between 1628AD-1634AD, and he gave land and a new building for the Town Grammar School. John Harrison and other leading merchants petitioned Charles I for a new Borough Charter and this was granted in 1626 allowing Leeds its first town council. Leeds was increasing in size and population by the beginning of the seventeenth century, and it seems it was in reaction to the growing demand for another place of worship that the building of St John the Evangelist was embarked upon.

Victoria Leeds is the go-to shopping and leisure destination in Leeds city centre. Combining the 1990 Victoria Quarter and the 2016 Victoria Gate, it includes a John Lewis & Partners, Harvey Nichols, Super Casino & over 70 beautiful boutiques as well as rooftop restaurants.
Victoria Leeds has some gorgeous shops, not to mention my favourite bar in Leeds, Issho. The arcades are absolutely stunning and the staff are always lovely. With the Victoria Leeds app there are several in-store events I get invited to, competitions I can enter and much more.

I travelled a long way to Leeds Playhouse because I wanted to see Pride and Prejudice (sort of...). I was not disappointed. The show was superb and the venue was great too. We arrived early and used the convenient parking just over the road in the John Lewis car park. We then enjoyed some great food in the restaurant before taking our seats. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout. I hope I’ll be able to visit Leeds Playhouse again soon.
