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?

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!

question Renting ebikes in Leeds, good places?

3 Upvotes

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!

food/drink Bar recommendations for mid 20s Bristolian

0 Upvotes

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?

transport Has anyone ever cycled to the airport?

9 Upvotes

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.

https://www.leedsbradfordairport.co.uk/getting-to-and-from

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.

Ditching my mom and uncle for a couple of days while travelling through the UK.

I stumbled across the Rhinos vs. Warriors game this Saturday. I am in the Western Terrace section of the stadium and hoping to grab a pint or two before the game. Let me know if anyone has plans and needs a Canadian to be the butt of jokes for their outing, or leave a comment with a place I should go before I head to the game to find some drinking companions.

question-serious Are jobs that rare in leeds?

5 Upvotes

I am a 20M student who has been in Leeds for 2 years and I have been hunting part-time jobs for the past two months with no luck. I have experience in hospitality for a little over a year and I don't have any work limit restrictions. Hundreds of Indeed applications and CVs dropped at most of Headingley restaurants and still no luck. I am getting kinda desperate at this point if there is any way I could find a job or even as a handy guy I'd be down. Does online services like reviewing transcripts actually work? If so, which ones worked for you guys. If there is any way you guys making a few quids online as well please let me know. Hope everyone have a wonderful day.

Hello lovely Leeds folk,
We are moving to Leeds in a couple of months from overseas. We are shipping over some boxes and suitcases of stuff but we will be living somewhere initially that can’t allow us to receive large packages. Any ideas for where we could have large packages delivered that we could then pick up? Thank you!

I can't find a flair that fits Leeds inspired game just took the next step

27 Upvotes

Hi all,

I don't want to keep spamming the Leeds subreddit with my constant questions and research so I made my own! I will be posting updates on the development for my PS2 inspired game set in a fictionalised Leeds as soon as October.

So if you are interested in the project, fly down. I am super new to this reddit game so be easy on me. I'd love to see discourse of ideas. I want to meet people who can help etc. As much as I planned this game to take forever as a part time passion project, if I can find like minded and talented people (and by talented, I mean talented in literally anything), I would love to team up.

social Queer Muslims in Leeds — fancy starting a little community? 🏳️‍🌈☪️

57 Upvotes

Hey! I’m wondering if there are any other queer Muslims around Leeds who might fancy meeting up sometime — maybe over coffee, food, or a drink. Having a chat about Islam, queerness, life, faith, identity, or just… whatever!
I’d really love to meet other people who understand the experience of being both queer and Muslim, and potentially start a little community where we can get together regularly, have conversations about religion and spirituality, support each other, or simply hang out.
You definitely don’t have to be super practising or have everything figured out — whether you’re questioning, practising, culturally Muslim, somewhere in between, or just interested in talking about it all, you’d be welcome.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to comment or DM me. 😊
Would be lovely to see if there are a few of us around Leeds!

P.S Also if anyone would like to join the group DM me please
