We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Elements of Nature, a brand-new collaborative arts project from Left Bank Leeds, funded by Leeds Inspired and Leeds City Council’s Grow programme.
From July to November 2025, six early-career artists will work with local communities to explore creativity, sustainability, and our relationship with the natural world. Each artist has chosen an element — Earth, Water, Light, Shadow, or Time — as inspiration, and together with participants will create new artworks through a series of free public workshops.
This October half term, we’re diving into the world of spooky special effects — just in time for Halloween!
Inspired by some of our favourite fright-filled films, this hands-on workshop explores how filmmakers create their most gruesome and ghoulish effects. From blood and guts to ooze and slime, you’ll get to see (and try!) the tricks behind the scares.
Warning: not for the squeamish!
As spooky season descends, join us for a LHT Unwrapped: Drama Day! Using drama games, physical theatre and ensemble play, we’ll be exploring everything that goes bump in the night…
Potion Party (Ages 6 – 8): Step into our witches’ workshop and discover the magic of potion-making. You’ll dream up brews with extraordinary effects – potions that make you grow taller than a giant, shrink as small as a mouse, wobble like jelly, or dance without stopping!
Calling all 14 – 24 year olds! Join us for this special 'Magpie Minds' workshop inspired by our current exhibition, 'To Improvise A Mountain: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Curates'.
Author, performance and playwright Seki Lynch has developed a workshop exploring aspects of writing, creativity and curation. Seki will lead this workshop where participants will interact with the exhibition to investigate how we find patterns in colour, texture, tone, space, atmosphere, and experience. Using these lenses, we'll tap our creative wells to develop new ways of seeing and creating work.
Join us for our Autumnal edition of the Zine Library Lates as we celebrate the season with Autumn and morris dancing inspired zine making, sew a patch activity, Hapa Zome (eco printing) lead by the fantastically creative Youth Collective from Leeds Art Gallery and learn a dance from special Morris dancing guests, The Wharfedale Wayzgoose Border Morris.
We sit in circle and invoke the spirit of Mama Cacao (IxCacao) to support us on our journey of self-love. In this 90mins session, Lourdes will create a sacred space to facilitate your reconnection with your soul so you can integrate all the parts that make you YOU and love all of them. The direction is always towards wholeness, becoming whole and repairing any lesions that might have resulted in the fragmentation of your self.
