Created by artist, Pippa Hale, 'Ribbons' will be located at the top of the gardens between Leeds City College’s Quarry Hill campus and Leeds Playhouse at the gateway to the SOYO development at Quarry Hill, from October 2024.

Ribbons themed kids activities

With over 25,000 lights, 2 LED screens and 15 interactive elements, this adventure is sure to have something you'll enjoy.
