Join us at Leeds City Museum for a talk and beer tasting event with Steve Holt, Head of Kirkstall Brewery. Steve's talk will touch on the history of brewing in Leeds from 1821 to present day. He will give a fascinating insight into the many breweries which once existed in Leeds, many of which were located in individual pubs across the city.

The talk will be accompanied by tastings of a range of beer, ales and barley wine to give a unique experience of the development of the drinks as we know them today.

Join us for an evening of celebration as we launch Transform’s reimagined festival for 2021-2022. This edition will look and feel very different but with the same bold, brave, vivid and socially-conscious spirit we are known for.
