The magic of storytelling unites cultures and generations. And for three weeks, it illuminates our city starting here. From award-winning family theatre and acclaimed author readings to costume-making workshops and a city-wide trail - this truly is a festival for everyone!
In this interactive performance, the smoke clears on the once crowded platform, the outline of the Station Master is all that's left as the train pulls away. He's here to welcome you to the Lost Property Library - a place where lost stories, memories, and objects come to be archived and kept safe. All around you trunks and suitcases brim with exciting tales and adventures to discover. Above your head hangs a sign that reads... "Please look after these stories."

Alternative folk artist Ollie Dixon will be performing live at The Hyde Park Book Club with support from Chump and Anneka Shelley
From regularly performing live across the South and South West including headlining for Sofar Sounds and playing a number of the U.K. festivals (inc. Boardmasters, Between The Trees & Oceanfest), Ollie is embarking on a U.K. wide tour in 2025 performing songs from his brand new EP.
This will be Ollie’s first performance for Leeds where he has chosen to play an intimate show at the Hyde Park Book Club.
Being loud, brazen and a little bit lairy was all Matt needed to propel himself onto the comedy circuit aged 18 and be presenting national telly by 22. But faster than you can say ‘Celebrity Coach Trip’ he suddenly finds himself in his 30s, so what’s next for the lad?
Matt has moved to the countryside, settled down, and is trying his hardest to not make rude jokes. It’s not going as well as he’d hoped…
Like all women who literally just celebrated their 35th birthday… five years ago, Hayley Ellis is obsessed with true crime.
Sure, it's not the most feminist of passions - but since when do we ever do what’s best for ourselves, however old we get?
Join Hayley as she navigates middle age - and as everyone agrees, the middle of anything is always the most delicious part (excluding Donuts, Avocados or plane seats), the joys of remaining (mostly) happily unmarried and the truly horrific journey of later-in-life contraception Something for everyone.
Cork’s own Chris Kent returns with a brand-new show ‘Offline’.
He tries to give up the internet and navigate life without asking his phone what to eat, where to go or how to get home. He longs for a simpler time of playing ‘Snake’ and constructing emojis himself. Now that he has hit 40 years of age, he wonders if he can ever go back to thinking for himself.
Join him on a journey that will either make him or break him.
