A compact city with plenty to offer
Leeds is a city at the heart of the action- vibrant, colourful and full of energy, with the rural idyll of the Yorkshire Dales and beauty of the Pennine Hills accessible from the city within minutes.
The city is compact, easy to walk between meetings and explore on foot. There is a wealth of charm and experience to take in no matter how long you are here.
Leeds is home to some of the best arts and culture in the country which we will showcase throughout our year of culture – LEEDS 2023. We have award-winning theatres and renowned galleries and museums, a world class arena and an impressive independent food scene.
We are a city with a rich sporting heritage, home to decorated sides like Leeds United, Leeds Rhinos and Yorkshire County Cricket Club, and with a reputation for hosting unmissable international sporting events.
