In March 2013, Leeds opened the Trinity shopping centre, which houses an incredible 120 shops. Elsewhere across the city, new bars and restaurants are popping up every week. When it comes to events, you’ll be spoilt for choice by quirky, independent pop-up festivals and eclectic arty installations. It’s all going on round here!
Culture-loving crowds swoop in from all over to enjoy everything the city of Bradford has to offer. From the National Media Museum to the Alhambra Theatre, there’s so much to see and do around here. What’s more, you’ve got a UNESCO World Heritage Site on your doorstep – the Victorian village of Saltaire!
Leeds Bradford Airport is less than an hour’s drive from the historic market town of Skipton, a regular on the ‘Happiest Places to Live in Britain’ charts. Charm knows no limits in these parts, with chocolate-box villages, rolling hillsides and sheep-speckled fields whichever way you glance.
