Creative workshops in Leeds

“We recently had our wedding at Left Bank, and 5 stars doesn't feel like enough. Not only is it just THE most beautiful venue (our guests couldn't get over it!) but Sam and the team are just beyond words. They were there to help at every stage, suggesting suppliers and giving general advice on top of helping with more venue-specific things. They did all the set-up, all the take-down, they were so accommodating to every request, and so friendly and welcoming at every point in the planning process. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day because we just knew, and could fully trust the team to take care of everything. Everyone we've spoken to and every member of staff we've dealt with has been a delight and so happy to help, we genuinely don't have a single spot of negative feedback. It also feels so special that Left Bank isn't just a wedding venue, so we can return as much as we like for drinks or events and re-live our day. Thank you to the entire team (and especially Sam) for making our day a reality. You're all the absolute best!”

“We enjoy working with One Day Creative: keen, reflective practitioners who communicate well with school and - most importantly - with our children. We also make good use of their UNO online resources to supplement our curriculum.”

“Excellent Childrens’ Theatre. Brilliant plays performed by talented young people and adults. As a family we have always attended their shows at The Carriageworks Theatre, which are affordable and amazing entertainment for the whole family. We simply love the LCT! Carry on doing what you are doing because it is great.”

“Great film school! Small but mighty! The best part about Met is the community: every lecturer is a working industry professional who has great relationships with all their students; non-teaching staff are also super friendly and know everyone's name creating an atmosphere which is very friendly but professional. As a student you will know the majority of your year group and have ample opportunities to network and socialise with other courses and year groups. (MetFilm also has the best parties in Leeds). The kit room is full of great kit available to rent out, although the process could do with streamlining. Modules are fun and very practical: you get your hands on kit a lot in lessons as well as assignments! Great place to study if you're passionate about film and/or acting!”

“We’ve recently used Carringtons for our new kitchen. The service, attention to detail and finish has been excellent. The design was just what we wanted and we got good advice on the different products available that enabled us to make an informed decision. Once we’d confirmed we’d like to go ahead, we received regular updates and everything was organised by Carringtons. Adam, who co-ordinated the kitchen build, was great, with seamless organisation of the different trade jobs that needed doing to bring everything together. Would highly recommend for the quality of service, attention to detail, range of products and most importantly the standard of the finished kitchen.”

“I got my hair cut here today by James and my experience was beyond lovely. I'm usually very anxious when I go to a hair salon but James made me feel at ease immediately, he was friendly and professional and even offering guidance on products that I could use on my hair to help it have more texture. I also really liked how he offered his professional opinion such as adding light layers, it's always nice when I have no idea what could look nice on myself but James was able to give his professional opinion and make me look way nicer than when I came into the salon. When I left, I couldn't stop looking at my reflection in all the shop mirrors I was passing by, I'm surprised I didn't walk into a pole! Overall the service was fantastic and I'm so happy with my hair, I'll certainly be back again! Thank you again James!”

“My first time visiting was for the northern ballets children’s performance of the ugly duckling with my 9 month old daughter and her 2 year old cousin. Both absolutely mesmerised throughout the whole performance. A great space and even us adults loved it.”

“Superb little venue. Ultra friendly staff, good roomy seats with plenty of leg room. Nice little bar for interval drinks which were very reasonably priced. Will be keeping a watch out for future productions.”

“Every single time I go into Leeds City Centre, I have to get Houtong! It has such an amazing, cosy interior and makes me feel comfortable every single time. The boba drinks itself are delicious - each style is full of flavour and makes me crave even more! They have friendly staff, clean and pretty places to sit and even toilets!
