Letters to Leeds
Letters to Leeds is a project that was born out of a love for Leeds and a desire to further understand and celebrate its greatness.
We want to invite people to come together on a collective exploration of the city. Whether you’ve been here all along, moved here yesterday, or are just passing through – we want to capture Leeds through your experiences. In order to do so, we will be holding three free workshops at Hyde Park Book Club that will encourage sharing your stories through different creative activities.
