Kirkstall Living Advent Trail

Kirkstall Living Advent invites you to join the trail, launching on 1 December at St Stephen's Church Hall. Revealed each evening, window displays will showcase the creativity of the Kirkstall neighbourhood.

You can follow the trail online with our interactive map. But we do recommend downloading a map and seeing them all in person. The trail is a fun way to brighten up the dark evenings, and the windows will remain lit up until 5 January.

This is visceral music for the mind and body, full of dreamy verses, life affirming choruses and sheer audacity. Where melodic invention meets alternative folk, progressive, world and ambient sounds.
