Leeds is making up for lost time with a jam-packed festive season that’s guaranteed to get you in the Christmas spirit…

Christmas with all the bells and whistles. Twinkling lights strung from the rooftops, choirs singing yuletide songs and mugs of mulled wine supped in a festive ski lodge. Heartwarming tales of Christmases past and secret grottos that bypass the North Pole so the little ones can meet Santa in person and make their requests. That’s what we’re all craving, that’s what we’ve been missing, and this year, that’s what we’re getting as Leeds goes big on on the Christmas festivities.
