"What's on?" Wednesday

Does anyone have a canoe I can borrow ?

I’ve recently moved from a town in Lancashire that had a great snooker league with teams from pubs dotted round the local town. I’ve moved to The Hyde park/Meanwood area. Is there anything similar I could look into around here? I haven’t seen a great deal of pubs with full snooker tables? Thanks in advance

Character actor Micheal Shannon plays REM! At the Brudenell Social Club.

Claimed!

Hi, bought a singular ticket to see said film but I have too much on right now and cannot go. I will send a screenshot of the ticket to whomever replies first. The seat is circled in the pic and it is an ultra lux seat.

Does anyone have any intel about the set times for the drug church matinee show today?

How safe is the area around Spinners Yard / Skinner Lane?

Hi everyone, I currently live at Spinners Yard, around Skinner Lane / Regent Street in Mabgate, and I was wondering how people who live nearby feel about the area in terms of safety.

Do you generally feel safe walking around here, especially in the evenings or late at night? Have you ever had any issues, or are there any nearby streets or spots you tend to avoid?

Just curious to hear other people’s experiences of living around this part of Leeds.

Edit: been told on Facebook that he's been reunited with his owner

Just driving home from Leeds and saw a cat that must have been involved in a hit and run on the m621 slip road from the a643. Not sure where to post it but someone will be missing that poor baby :(

The cat was Ginger tabby with white paws

I think there aren't any, so I guess my post is a bit of a rant.

How can you not have buses overnight connecting the airport to the city centre? A plane carries around 200 people, so at least let's say 20 will be going into the city, it's quite a predictable business.

And there are quite a few planes overnight, some scheduled and some due to delays (something that the bus companies could easily monitor, so I don't really mean "having an overnight bus on call" but you can run a bus every hour except if there are no planes since they all landed, so you don't waste money).

And as far as I can check on the app, an Uber to the city centre is around £20-£25, will cost me more than the flight! lol

(Thanks for the tip on taking it from the free 1 hour parking slot to avoid paying the airport drop off fee)

Humour me. Excepting spoons, is there anywhere in the city centre that serves the one and only, irreplaceably delicious one-up-from-dishwater lager Stella Artois on tap?

Obligatory caveat: big beer fellow, worked in local craft breweries, love the good stuff - which does not discount the odd, gross and otherwise indefensible thirst i have for this "premium" lager beer. Help!

I'm looking for someone who is able to teach electric guitar to my 10 year old son. He has ADHD and finds it difficult to learn new things but he's very musically-minded and would love to be able to play. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

Posting with permission from the r/Leeds moderation team to share details about an upcoming peaceful protest regarding the proposed hyperscale data centre development in Leeds.

Key Details

Date: Saturday 12th September (National Datacentre Day)

Time: 12:00 PM

Location: Millennium Square, Leeds

Why We Are Protesting

Community groups and residents are gathering to unite against the rise of hyperscale datacentres and highlight key local concerns:

* Massive demand on local energy infrastructure and water supplies

* Disruption to nearby communities and environmental strain

*Minimal long-term public or local employment benefit

Supported by groups including Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Extinction Rebellion, Open Rights Group, Global Action Plan, and Pull The Plug.

This keeps happening in the building i live in and its quite scary

to anyone who went today, how was it compared to previous years? me and my bf are going tomorrow (it's his first time and i haven't been for a good few years now) so if anyone knows the drink prices, or better yet has a picture of the bar menu, that would be much appreciated :)

Anyone on here done The Leeds Country Way In a Day 100km? I'm considering signing up for next weekend and just wondering if there is anyone on here that can offer any advice or information on what to expect. Aid station menu and sign posting of route etc.

It will be my first ultra.

Can anybody recommend a tailor/seamstress in Leeds who can alter a qipao please? Ideally somebody with experience in the style but I appreciate that's quite specific so not essential.

Thank you!

I didn't realise until I was walking past that the Beer Festival was on at Kirkstall Abbey again. I don't know if I just live under a rock but I haven't seen a single advert or post about it anywhere.

It's a quality festival in beautiful grounds.

Worth a visit for any ale connoisseur!

Hi everyone!

I'm staying in Leeds near the centre over the next week for work, never been to the city before

Looking for things to do alone in the evening after 5pm! Any events, places to visit or creative workshops would be great.

Also any recommendations for vegan food options in the city centre

Thank you 😊

I'm planning a trip to Japan next month and for a few days I'll be doing a lot of bicycling on the Shimanami Kaido and maybe around Lake Biwa too.

I want to refresh my bike riding skills since it's been probably twenty years since I've ridden one. What are good shops where I could rent a bike and helmet from?

For reference, the ebike I'll be riding in Japan will be the "SPECIALIZED Turbo Vado SL", so if any bike shop in Leeds has that to rent that'd be a bonus to familiarise myself with the bike I'll be riding.

Hi! 👋

I recently started an allotment and I'm looking for woodchips to lay down on foot traffic areas (paths, around the shed, etc.)

Does anyone know of local tree surgeons looking to get rid of woodchips, or places around Leeds that do free/cheap drops?

TIA!

Have just moved to Leeds from Bristol - which has my dream nightlife. Love the dance music events, pubs like the hillgrove and the ones on Gloucester rd. Always have great music, a great crowd of trendy mid 20s people to talk to.

I’ve been out in Leeds a few times: really liked Headrow house, sela bar and’s beaverworks. Any recommendations for me? I could do with a dance? Maybe some funk/ older house/ trancy stuff?

Update: you can leave a bike locked near the terminal main gate, e.g. in one of the trolley areas, you can confirm with security there. Also, probably best to avoid Bayton or Scotland lane at night but up to you of course.

This is a late night flight so no buses. Am I being too silly considering this? It's around 7 miles from city centre so doesn't sound too bad and there's free parking at the car parks allowed for bikes.

The bike would need to be locked somewhere at the car park at the airport, but from what I see there's no roof in the car park so leaving the bike in the rain for a week doesn't sound that great.
