There are plenty of ways to stay cool in Leeds this summer. Here is a guide to some of the best things to do and see from our summer events and festivals line-up.
Leeds is a unique and vibrant place to visit any time of the year, but the summer is when the city steps outdoors. Enjoy alfresco dining at Leeds' many independent restaurants to drive-ins at stately homes. Live sporting events, such as international cricket at Headingley Carnegie to live concerts, and Girls Aloud at Harewood. See China in Yorkshire celebrations or a Royal occasion in the form of jousting at the Royal Armouries. Parks dedicated to sculpture to cruising on the river Aire. Finally, Leeds Festival - the annual rock extravaganza at Bramham Park is one not to miss!
