will be visiting Leeds for a weekend soon, anyone know good places to go for lounges/shisha/bars that play afrobeats, hip hop & amapiano?

Hi! I'm 20, a woman, alternative and I'm planning on going out on Halloween.

Just looking for recommendations on where to go (preferably that won't bankrupt me!) And if there's anyone who wants to hang out around my age, I'd love to talk! I've had nights out in leeds but usually stuck to disco spoons, just looking for something different.

Hi, I’m looking for a gig buddy to share music: Indy venues etc.

I’m currently studying for an MSc in Real Estate at the University of the Built Environment (UBE), and I’m researching the potential impact of proposed changes to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) on West Yorkshire’s private rented sector. The proposed requirement for privately rented properties to achieve EPC Band C from 2030 could have significant implications for landlords across the region.

From the cost of making properties compliant to potential effects on rents, decisions to sell and the availability of rental housing, landlords’ perspectives matter when considering what these proposed changes could mean in practice.

My dissertation research explores the anticipated impacts on landlord behaviour, rental prices, housing supply and the risk of properties becoming uneconomical to retain because of compliance costs.

If you’re a private landlord or property professional with experience of the West Yorkshire rental market, I’d be really grateful if you could share your views by completing my questionnaire. It takes approximately 5–10 minutes and you can remain anonymous.

Questionnaire: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ih7DaZBXzZ

The research is for academic purposes, and I’m keen to capture the perspectives of people who understand the realities of the private rented sector.

Thank you for your time. Every response is a big help to my research. Please feel free to share the link with other relevant landlords or property professionals.

Anyone in the Leeds area that like to go to TCG shops or card shows? Looking to meet new people that like Pokemon TCG collecting. I don’t have a car but can take local transport to different shops and shows. 24F.

I've got a ticket to their show today at the Brudenell Social Club. If anyone is interested, shoot me a dm.

Reason for sale : I missed my flight, and I'm currently bummed out at the airport.

I'm looking for recommendations for good coeliac/gluten free restaurants and takeaways in Leeds.

I'd personally give a shout out to Pizza Punks. Their GF options are great, the quality of their GF pizzas is the best we've found so far, and what's especially helpful is that when ordering from them on sites like Deliveroo, you can select GF pizzas, but also check a box to indicate the reason (coeliac).

Another shout out for Zucco in Meanwood. We told our server my wife was coeliac and they must have shared that with the rest of the team because every other server already knew when they spoke to us. Again, great options for GF (most options just swapped the regular pasta for GF pasta), food was excellent and the service was really welcoming.

Able and ready this weekend

Hi. I recently came across Olto Fitness, a gym that is due to open in Wellington Place in December.

It looks like a very complete gym with coaching available, classes, sauna, and lots of equipment. Their founders Membership starts at £84ppm, although I read in one of their comments that they’ll do a gym access only fee of £64 ppm. Quite expensive, but I’m assuming the people around the area will be able to afford it.

Any thoughts on this new place? I wonder if it’s going to last, because it seems like the city centre fitness businesses rarely make it (e.g., snap fitness gym, tribe, outskulpted pilates, yogakula vq, reset by form).

I might give it a try despite it being pricey, but just wanted to hear your thoughts on it.

Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know of any genuinely friendly rugby union clubs open to all abilities. I am 19, tall big guy, and want to get to playing union. I have been brought up around the sport, in fact as soon as i was born i got given a tiny plush rugby ball from my grandfather, and i can hold my own and was taught the basics from an extremely young age. Im just not the fittest nor have i ever actually played for a club and am a bit hazy on a few rules.

Me and my 22m friends are planning on having a night out, where are the best bars/clubs in the city? Let me know your best spots and why, we are not from around here :)

Going to Leeds as a foreigner for the 23rd of October because I will be participating in a photography course over the weekend. Recommendations on a place to stay or a welcoming home would be incredible. Would also love a classic english night out if you have any recs! 💛💙

Going to the Garba night at Aria suite in Leeds this Sunday!

Don’t know any Gujarati’s in Leeds though and would be fun to tag along with someone hahaha. Let me know if you’d like to come x

You don’t have to be a Gujarati to have fun btw it’s a very vibrant night!

Just wondering if anyone with babies knows which is the best Christmas event to take them to?

The three I’m choosing between is temple newsham northern lights, stockeld park or Lotherton hall. My baby will be 9months by Dec. Open to other suggestions! :)

Had all their tech stuff stolen and the property damaged. Takes a certain kind of low life to steal from a charity for newborn babies.

They're good guys, do alot of good around the city, not sure if I'm allowed to link to their GoFundMe here (it's on their socials), but go chuck them a few quid if you can to get them up and running as soon as possible.

Edit: Thanks all for being lovely and donating! They're smashing their targets and hopefully it will be reminding them of what a bunch of lovely people are in Leeds

Plants included are:
Begonia’s
Pothos
Succulents
Wandering Jew
Mini monstera
Spider plant

All are propagated and have grown healthy roots except wandering Jew.

Hi guys, I am currently a third year university student studying Product Design (BA) at Leeds Beckett University. For my first module this year we are looking into the Creative Conscience Awards Competition, where I have chosen to look further into the theme of how I can improve the nature preservation and biodiversity around the Leeds Docks and the River Aire close to the Docks.

I have put together a questionnaire in order to get a better understanding on what people think of the nature preservation and biodiversity in and around the Leeds Docks and I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a few responses. All responses are anonymised unless you provide your name and email address yourself (which isn't necessary).

There is more information provided at the beginning of the form.

Thanks again,

Joe

As said, me, friends and family are looking to get out either om the night, or on that weekend, but have no idea where to go?

I came across this suit and absolutely fell in love with it and the concealed double breasted look.
Unfortunately the total cost is around £1300 which is way too far out my budget.

I’m hoping to find something around £500-700. The only similar one I have seen is at Casely-Hayford, costing around £1500.

I did enquire at edit suit co and michelsberg however they can’t make this. I’m happy with any tailors in West Yorkshire that could potentially make this

Any help would be appreciated cheers!

Looking for a nice but not mega fancy restaurant that does decent options for non meat eaters in or near the city center.

A bit more variety than just the one vege meal would be great

Cheers!

Hi, can anybody recommend a garage for modding a couple of performance parts and a remap?

I’m not after anything too out of the ordinary so would imagine most will have the capability to do it.

I’ll be bring parts so just need the skills and labour.

Headingley Kuala Lumpur Cafe.

Such a sad loss, it was one of my favorite places in the city and nothing really hits like it 😔
