Let us take you on a gloriously nostalgic trip back to the golden days of traditional Music Hall and Variety. For your delight and delectation, this talented company offers song, dance, magic and laughter as they pay tribute to the many great stars who appeared on BBC TV’s longest-running series The Good Old Days.
Join members of the team behind the 'Forgotten Battles: Gender in the Armouries' project to discover the hidden queer histories within the Royal Armouries Museum - and get your hands on some objects from the collection! Created by local queer people, 'Forgotten Battles' is a trail and exhibition (on display until November) which reclaims the Royal Armouries as a queer space, revealing hidden stories of gender within the museum.
Great British Motor Shows are creating another signature show, this time, at Harewood House. Sitting on the lawns overlooking the impressive House façade, the Motor Show will have hundreds of classic and performance cars, bikes and commercials to visit, alongside the beautiful House and gardens, making it a great family day out.
The Rolls Royce Rally brings together some of the UK’s most prized motor cars and their proud owners, and 2024 marks the 44th year that the rally has been held at Harewood.
Why not take some time out, enjoy a picnic or ice cream on the North Front with the iconic House as your backdrop, and join us for a quintessentially English family day out!
Each year of the decade is represented by a piece of popular music.
Themes from the songs are enlarged upon, so by the end of the talk, subjects covered include fashions back then, the Cold War, Vietnam, flower power, the space race – and more!
A light-hearted and nostalgic look back at a decade many remember fondly!

The outbreak of plague in 1348 in Britain had a massive impact across the country and high mortality levels. This talk by local artist and historian Morticia will look at how it affected people overall, what they did to look after themselves, and how the parish of Adel and surrounding areas in particular fared during the outbreak.
See the latest exhibition at Leeds City Museum which invites visitors to discover how people experience death, grief and dying in different ways. Living with Death looks at how humans have developed knowledge and skills in response to life ending.
We know that death affects everyone, but it is often difficult to talk about. The exhibition hopes to gently encourage conversation through personal stories, and objects from across the world and throughout history.
A series of talks, workshops, and family-friendly events will complement the exhibition throughout the year.
