Cinema on the Square

Cinema on the Square returns this summer for four days of open-air film screenings, transforming Millennium Square into a giant outdoor cinema with concert-quality sound.

We close the Millennium Square's Summer Series with a standout lineup of concert films, cult classics from the ‘80s and ‘90s, Japanese favourites, family screenings, singalongs, a Bollywood blockbuster and our first-ever 'Bring Your Own Dog' event.

Kindness Rocks Painting Station

Join us for a relaxing, family-friendly creative session where we’ll be painting kindness rocks, small stones decorated with colourful designs, uplifting messages, or nature-inspired art. This simple, joyful activity is open to all and suitable for any age or ability.

You’re welcome to take your finished rock with you on a gentle walk through Bramley Park or along the canal. It’s a lovely way to continue the creativity, spend time outdoors and brighten someone’s day.

Walking Windrush: A Black History in Leeds Sketch Walk

In June each year, we celebrate the legacy of the Windrush generation and their descendants on Windrush Day. Now, 77 years on from the arrival of Empire Windrush, we want to mark this anniversary by getting to know the local history of racial justice in our city.

Join Leeds Sanctuary as we learn about the history of the Black community in Leeds, while sketching landmarks in the city centre. This creative evening will be led by local historian and artist, Clifford Stead.

LBGTQ+ Social Gaming

BYOBG - Bring your own board games!

Although we have a selection of games available for you to play at Pride Place, we’d love you to bring and share your favourite games with others in the community. We also accept donations if you’d like to gift us any gently used games you’re no longer playing.

There will be a selection of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks available on a donation basis. We welcome anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, either solo or as a group. There will be volunteers on hand to help you settle into the social environment.
