Drop in to your local library during October half term to play some brilliant board games that will help you practice your reading!

Find out how games can promote comprehension and vocabulary, and play some of our favourites, with researchers from the University of Leeds on hand to teach the games – and provide hints and tips for getting the most out of them!

Part of the Leeds Festival of Play and Creativity. Taking place at various venues across the city, 11am-2pm:

Mon 28th Oct – Garforth Community Hub and Library

Tues 29th Oct – Leeds Central Library

Horsforth Arts Society's annual Autumn Exhibition of Paintings, Drawings, Woodcarvings, Prints, Felting, Crafts, etc.

A warm and witty show for children and their grown-ups about football, team-work and the joy of joining in.

Freddie Farren is a little girl who loves football but is too nervous to join in a game in her local park. Out of a magical photograph steps Freddie’s Great-Great-Great Uncle Fred; a real footballer from the olden days. Uncle Fred takes Freddie back in time where they re-live footballing glories of old. Freddie renews her confidence and enthusiasm and everyone joins in a good old-fashioned kick around.

Saturday 26th Oct 2pm. St Barts Church, Armley. 

We are a group of performers and circus enthusiasts who meet regularly to practice and share our skills in like-minded company. We run weekly skill-shares on Tuesdays 6pm-9pm at Open Source Arts, Leeds, focusing on learning new skills together in supportive company.
