Art In The City

We are now taking our Art House art markets to the great outdoors! 2025 will see our new outdoor art markets popping up in the exciting commercial and residential walkways of Leeds City Centre as 'Art In The City'. 

We start off our urban outdoor art events at the stunning newly developed Wellington Place, in the stimulating west end of the city,  centred around the prominent stone built Wagon Hoist legacy structure of the old Leeds railway station, now a railway and tram museum, just 5 minutes walk from Leeds City Square. 

Skelton Grange Easter Trail

With help from 'The Friends of Skelton Grange', our Easter Good Friday event is a glorious outdoor trail wandering through the woods and gardens at Skelton Grange. Complete a treasure hunt along the way and trade in your trove for a chocolatey Easter surprise at the end! The event is a fundraiser for the Centre and a great chance for families to enjoy Easter fun!

The Skelton Café will be open to buy hot drinks and sweet treats at the end. There will also be crafts/activities along the trail to be announced.

Leeds St Patrick’s Day Parade 2025

Leeds St Patrick’s Day Parade is taking place on the Sunday 16th March 2025.

The parade procession will leave Great George Street at 11.00am and entertainment will start at the same time, in Millennium Square. 

The large procession will go around the very centre of Leeds, for all to see. 

Fantastic acts will be performing all day, as well as stalls of all kinds and amusement rides to enjoy. 

...dashed...

…dashed… is a playful, thoughtful, walking, experience in which failure is as likely as success. As we walk, attention shifts from possible outcomes to what happens along the way.

Ok, the idea…

We drop a small, bright, engineered, log into the river. Together, we follow the log’s lead, along the path next to the river as it’s carried by the flow. I guess we will will it on. Perhaps the log will snag, sink, or get caught in eddies. It can outstrip us or,  make us move at a crawl pace. We might lose it altogether.

Hope. Let’s see.

This event is free
