Celebrate nature with stories and song!

Join us at this Story and Rhyme special where we will be celebrating our love of nature and introducing little ones to the idea of caring for the world around them.

There will also be plenty of age-appropriate books on themes relating to looking after our planet for families to borrow.

This is a free drop in event for children under 5 and their families.

Green Libraries Week Story and Rhyme Specials are taking place at the following times and locations:

Come and see a house turned into an interactive light spectacular, with interactive buttons, synchronised singing faces and, of course, bubbles!

With over 25,000 lights, 2 LED screens and 15 interactive elements, this  adventure is sure to have something you'll enjoy.

Our experience is a spooky not scary experience so you won't find any frights and for those who would prefer it, we run regular sensory sessions.

It's all completely free, but we do accept donations for our chosen charity partner Martin House Children's Hospice.

All aboard the Pumpkin Express!

Join us in the lead up to Halloween for family pumpkin picking and a thrilling tractor ride to get you in the spooky spirit!

Hop on board our legendary tractor trailer, where you will be transported to Lotherton’s ‘pumpkin patch’ to select your very own pumpkin to take home and decorate. Once up at the field, enjoy entertainment or face painting (activity subject to day of visit), refreshments and craft activities. Round off your visit with a photo op on our vintage Massey Ferguson Tractor.*

Get ready to celebrate the holiday season as Ice Cube at Christmas returns to Leeds City Centre. The much-loved event will spread holiday cheer throughout Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens, and Cookridge Street, featuring an array of winter-themed activities and attractions for everyone to enjoy.

Strap on your skates and take to the 400sqm covered ice rink, where daily sessions, beginner-friendly one-on-one lessons, and special Penguin Clubs ensure that both novice and seasoned skaters can join in the fun.

Join us at Lotherton this October half-term for spine-tingling tales and eerie encounters.

Spooky Skeletons: Scarytales is a daytime event perfect for all ages. As you follow the twisted fairytales trail through the haunting grounds, gardens and house at Lotherton, all is not as it seems. Rattle your bones as you come face-to-face with a series of skeletons - making themselves at home and reimagining classic tales with a Halloween twist.
