We’ve talked before on these pages about the buzz surrounding the opening of the new shopping centre Trinity Leeds. But there’s been a buzz all of its own around the mall’s clutch of new restaurants and bars. The biggest buzz has been reserved for Angelica and Crafthouse, occupying the penthouse position on the sixth and fifth [...]
If you didn’t manage to get down to the Amazing Graze street food festival in Leeds during the first weekend of April I’m afraid you missed a treat. Street food seems to be having a moment in the city and it’s not hard to see why. These vendors are artisans, passionate about what they do [...]

Needing to stock up for a few DIY fashion and jewellery projects, last week I asked Twitter for recommendations for good haberdashery and bead shops in Leeds. As always, you came up trumps – so thanks to everyone who gave a suggestion. I went to most on Saturday and was able to get quite a [...]
