It is appropriate for anyone with 0-3 years of dancing experience. Participants do not require previous experience in Kathak.

Ghost Trail

Come and visit Leeds Central Library this Halloween and try your hand at our ghost trail, created by local illustrator Simon Smith.

Inspired by a very spooky scrapbook in our collections, Simon has created illustrations to accompany 16 ghost stories. 

Come and discover the Miser of Bramley or the Ghost of Gipton Wood. Grab an activity sheet and hunt for these images in the Local and Family History Library then use the QR codes to read the full tales of terror.

Free to take part, accessible during library opening hours.
