Why choose a Leeds weekend break or staycation?
Leeds is a treasure trove of hidden gems, fascinating history, brilliant shopping districts, world-class attractions and museums, and a bustling cultural scene.
This dynamic city blends tradition and history with a cosmopolitan vibe you will love, and our range of Leeds holiday cottages are the ideal accommodations to base yourself in, so you can experience it all.
The architecture in Leeds is not something to be ignored. Much of the city's architecture is from the Victorian era, and just walking around the city can feel like you've stepped back in time. One of our favourite buildings is the magnificent Leeds Town Hall, which was constructed as a symbol of the city's growing importance and wealth.
Before leaving the Town Hall, pop next door to the Leeds Art Gallery. The gallery is filled with a wide range of artwork and a gorgeous cafe that was once the main library reading room. It's a beautiful space to enjoy a well-earned cuppa and a slice of cake. For more art inspiration, head to the Henry Moore Institute and wander through galleries boasting work from the famous sculptor.
The Royal Armouries based in Leeds Docks is home to the UK's largest collection of armour, arms, and artillery, including Henry VIII's original armour. Don't miss the real-size elephant armour before you leave.
If you love shopping then you'll be spoilt for choice in Leeds. Briggate is the pedestrianised shopping area in the heart of the city. It's filled with street performers and yards and alleyways (known as the Backstreets) that look untouched by time. For more shopping, make sure the Victorian Arcades are on your itinerary. These four historical arcades are amazing to walk through and are a true architectural masterpiece.
No visit to Leeds would be complete without seeing Kirkgate Market, Europe's largest indoor market. This is the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, and the market offers a huge range of delicious foods, produce, and entertainment.
There are lots of fantastic bars and clubs if you fancy a wild night out on the town. It's a great city for a party weekend, and we love the range of quirky and contemporary rooftop bars where you can enjoy your favourite tipple and gaze out at views of the city.
It's not just city excitement that draws people to Leeds. The city is also filled with stunning gardens and parks when you need to take a break from seeing the sights.
We love the idyllic Roundhay Park and Temple Newsam to relax in. Or if you want to go slightly further afield, head to the picturesque Kirkstall Abbey. Sitting within easy reach of the city centre, the abbey is one of the most complete medieval 12th-century Cistercian Abbeys in the UK. It's the ideal place to wander around, take a breath, and enjoy a picnic.
With so much to see and do, you'll only wish your Leeds weekend break could last longer.
