Ass Haus welcomes the summer.

Hello! Are you excited for the sun to show its face with blue skies all day? Well wait a while longer because this is the UK. Chances are it’ll continue to rain. BUT NOT INSIDE OUR WALLS, we’re opening the doors to kick start a sunny social for our wonderful community and EVERYONE'S invited. Come and say hey! 

Here Comes the Sun, summer welcome party! An open studio for you to tour and meet some of the artists of Leeds. 

With live music as an acoustic live lounge set up (wholesome) vibes all day. 

SEND Next Choices - Getting ready for adult life is returning to Leeds first direct arena .

The event is an opportunity for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their parents, carers, support workers and teachers to prepare themselves for adult life. You will be able to find out about jobs, training, apprenticeships, college courses, voluntary work, leisure activities, finances, support and benefits available in Leeds. Over 60 organisations will be there on the day with support and information.

It’s time for the people of Leeds to dust off your party hats! The 'Letters to Leeds' project is coming to an end and we want to celebrate the launch of our publication with you!

For the past month, we have been collecting material through workshops and open calls that focus on people’s personal connections and experiences in Leeds. We have gathered stories, pictures, letters, lists, poems, myths and maps and now we have bound them into a publication that will be exhibited on the 22nd of April from 7-10pm at Hyde Park Book Club. 

We are delighted to host this wonderful collection of paintings, drawings and memorabilia of Leeds artist Philip Naviasky (1894-1983).

This exhibition has been co-curated in partnership with Suzie Hamlin who now resides in the house where Philip once lived in Chapel Allerton. In addition to this exhibition, there will be an unveiling of a blue plaque at the house in partnership with Leeds Civic Trust in recognition of the contribution Philip Naviasky has made to the cultural history of Leeds.

We are pleased to present the first exhibition in Assembly House's 2024 programme: scala by Ian Munro.

Look at the past, connect to the present, and imagine possible futures for us and our planet.

How can works of art help us to tell the stories of climate change?

Could paintings, ceramics and sculpture help us to imagine the world that we would like to live in – and inspire us to take action today?

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and try a hands-on activity.

You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!

Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.

Booking details: No need to book, just drop in – it’s all free!
