Leeds has an important place in the history of Goth culture. It’s home to the site of the world’s first Goth club and the city where Goth identity formed.

As part of this year’s national Heritage Open Days festival, you are invited to take the Leeds Goth QR Code Challenge and explore Leeds’ heritage as the birthplace of Goth.

Hollybush Conservation Centre is delighted to be a venue for Kirkstall Arts Trail 2024. Taking place across Saturday and Sunday, we'll be hosting 14 artists, as one of 38 different venues in Kirkstall. The cafe and gardens at Hollybush will be open for the whole weekend.

If you are having difficulty with your family history research then join our team of family history librarians at the Central Library for a free consultation: from first steps using Ancestry to more advanced queries, we're on hand to help.

We can primarily assist with family history in the Leeds and West Yorkshire area; the consultation is open to anyone, however, as we may be able to offer general advice depending on your circumstances.

Join us in the Sanderson Room at Leeds Central Library for this live and interactive version of our popular Family History workshop, for a friendly introduction to key concepts and resources for complete beginners.

Free but booking required at www.ticketsource.co.uk/leedslibraryevents
