The unofficial capital of Yorkshire, Leeds is a vibrant city, bursting with life, creativity and energy. And for those who are able to call this great city their home, there’s a diverse and exciting range of things to see and do. Here are some of our favourite places to visit in Leeds, whether it’s year round or exclusively for summer 2023.
Belgrave is an independent venue located in Leeds’ vibrant Northern Quarter. Here you’ll find live music, comedy, art and film exhibitions as well as amazing canteen style street food. And it’s also home to Leed’s most spectacular roof terrace!
Set in 1500 acres of scenic parkland and just a 10 minute drive from our Desire development, Temple Newsam is well worth a visit and offers plenty to see and do. Considered to be one of England’s great houses, you can enjoy exploring over 500 years of history in the house itself. There’s also Home Farm, which is home to one of the largest rare breed centres in Europe, as well as nature trails all ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. And there’s the option to have a picnic by the lakeside gardens too, or spend time as a family in the adventure playground. Temple Newsam also hosts many events throughout the year, such as walking tours, creative workshops, nature walks and a tea and talk club. This summer there’s also the opportunity to enjoy some open air theatre, with Heartbreak productions bringing three open air performances to Temple Newsam this August.
Just a 15 minute drive from our Kudos development and only 10 minutes from our Identity development, you’ll find one of the most popular attractions in Leeds. With close to 1 million visitors each year, Roundhay Park is home to 700 acres of parkland, lakes and streams, specialist gardens, woodland, cafes and playgrounds. There’s also a skate park, and football, rugby, tennis and cricket pitches.
