"What's on?" Wednesday

I've been looking for a hang out spot to meet new people but honestly I'm not sure where to go. Any ideas from anyone? Any specific shops or cafes?

Hi! this group is always so helpful so trying again :)
My birthday is this wednesday!! The only thing i definitely want to do is Cut and Craft for dinner, but i cant find/think of anything to do during the day, my husband took off and im unemployed for now so we have all day to do anything :)
We checked out thorpe park spa but it didnt seem as relaxing as advertised
looking for spas, fall activities, just a nice day out on my first birthday away from family!
We are willing to drive about 45 minutes out of Leeds city centre if that helps, we can go to harrogate or york if theirs cool stuff to do there, thanks in advance!!

Hey all! I hope you’ve survived the wind.

I have a very specific question. I’m wondering if anyone knows of petrol stations near the city centre (Leeds Dock) that have coin operated jet washes. Not car washes: specifically jet wash machines.

It’s getting into soggy season and living in the city centre makes washing a huge mountain bike a little tricky. The idea is I can just ride to/via a petrol station to hose the worst of it off before coming home. I’ll be on the bike (i.e. not with the car) so a short pedal away is ideal.

I know for a fact there’s one on Dewsbury Road as I use that one on the ride back from LUBP. But if anyone knows of any others that definitely have jet wash machines, I’d be grateful for any intel.

Thanks in advance!

Update: Thanks for stellar answers. Some good options for me there.

Hi guys, I've just moved to Leeds and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good independent bars and club nights in Leeds - preferably nothing that breaks the bank. Thanks!

Help me!!!
Some nice places for date in leeds!

Hi all,

I’m selling 1x Bongo’s Bingo ticket for Halloween night (Sat 31st Oct - 16:00) at the O2 in Leeds.

It’s listed on Twickets website so it’s been verified, all details on there. Thought I’d advertise it here for anyone who wasn’t able to snag a ticket as I think it’s sold out now.

Me and my mates were looking for some sort of event to go to on halloween. One of us suggested a rave or somethin’ Any pointers would be appreciated and 18+ events only please.

It keeps circling but not giving up 💪

Edit: landed in Manchester

My group have started rehearsing weekly at Boom over the past month but our drummer dropped out suddenly after only a few sessions...JUST as were really start to gain some momentum. I'm looking for someone who can FULLY COMMIT to weekly two hour sessions and is more serious about music than anything else.

Message me if you're keen with a little background on yourself & then you're genuinely welcome to come down when we're all there and we can see if it's a good fit or not! No pressure @ all - lets just see if we have musical chemistry and flow nicely together.

Did anyone get affected by the storm last night? I'm wondering how bad it was around Leeds. Did you experience any damage, fallen trees, power cuts or flooding? I hope everyone stayed safe!

hi all
been craving a decent, affordable chicken salad roll/deli sandwich/baker , where to try in leeds?

I’m looking for an IT role in the Leeds area and was wondering if people know of anyone roles going or if others have experienced difficulty finding jobs in Leeds in the IT industry

My friends and I are first years in Leeds and didn’t know we were supposed to book tickets so far in advance. We really want halloween plans, but yet so far nothing has come up. Is Otley run worth it on Halloween?

I saw a couple of Minions walking in front of Leeds Train Station earlier today. I really wanted to stop and tell them how awesome the outfits were, but I was having a total disaster of a morning and just kept walking.

A few minutes later I stepped outside and spotted even more Minions and Gru himself! it was the best thing and it made my morning around.

If any of you end up seeing this: I hope the heist was a success! BANANAAAA!!!! 🍌

We're in the middle of a cut right now. Wondering whether to give up hoping for a return this evening.

Does anyone know if they work through the night if they can?

Hi everyone! I'm in search of old craft/art magazines and books if any of you are having a clear out? I'll be running a community volunteer lead craft cafe soon and could do with some bits for people to read if they need ideas etc.

Anywhere that's walkable/busable from LS5 I can come and collect :)

Thanks 😊

Hi good people of r/Leeds, can anyone recommend good areas to practice driving for a beginner? Basically looking for:

• suburb neighbourhoods with quiet roads
• not too many cars parked on the road
• relatively flat

Preferably north of city centre.

Does anyone have 2 tickets for a bonfire night in Leeds (2026)? Has to be on the 5th November and has to have fireworks. Please I'm desperate!

I’m new here in Leeds for uni, and trying to find bandmates for a hardcore punk/crossover thrash/hardcore/ any related genre band. So far it’s just me(mainly playing bass guitar but can also play guitar), so any position is needed, feel free to message!
Preferably if u r also in uni of Leeds so we can use school’s rehearsal room, but if u r not, that’s also fine!
I am experienced with playing bass guitar in bands but I’m not pro, nor music student, so beginner welcomed
Please contact!!!

Hi everyone! I’m new to Leeds and curious to hear about any weird or interesting things that have happened around the city.
I’ve heard people mention strange noises and houses shaking, has anyone experienced this themselves? Or have you got any other unusual stories or local mysteries to share?
Just curious and love reading about this kind of stuff! 👻

Literally can't find any Trini food (Indo-Trini specifically) around here, all Carribean food is Jamaican.
Had a look on FB marketplace to see if there was anyone selling, but no luck there either.

Any trinidadians that know of any?....or are willing to make me some haha

Hey r/Leeds

I'm looking for a reputable company that has experience handling domestic data cabling. If anyone has any recommendations, please comment with them!

I've recently upgraded to 2gb internet, and am wanting to upgrade my home network as a result. I've used wireless mesh systems before, and that's currently what I have, but I can't reliably use the full connection via the mesh. Really, I want to get a wired connection upstairs to my office and to be done with it. I'd be looking for cat6a cabling, open to recommendations of how to get the wire there (internal, external, up to attic? so on).

Cheers!
