This autumn wreath-making event in Oakwood, Leeds is perfect for those searching for an intimate, autumnal afternoon full of crafts and fun.
After all, wreaths are officially no longer just for Christmas. Tones of bright orange, red and pastel yellows can brighten up any doorway in autumn, too, as the organisers of this autumnal workshop know all too well.
Always most fulfilling when they’re created by hand, you can now embrace your inner wreath-making creativity by making your own at Tasty Kitchen and Coffee in Oakwood this October.
Join BlumenKind’s autumn wreath-making workshop on Thursday 7 October and handcraft your own design that will give your neighbours‘ some serious front door envy.
Ticketholders will be invited into Tasty Kitchen and Coffee at 7 pm and find nibbles, fizz and an expert teacher on hand to guide them through the process.
The cosy cafe will provide the perfect backdrop to the event, but if you need any extra leaves to complete your design, take advantage of its mesmerising location. One of the UK’s ‘most beautiful parks, Roundhay Park, is just footsteps away and filled with crunchy, falling leaves.
There are only twelve places available to keep the workshop intimate and friendly, so the café is inviting guests to book their tickets on Eventbrite early to avoid disappointment.
Tasty Kitchen and Café is usually open 9 am until 4.30 pm every day. The family-friendly café offers guests a choice of traditional British lunches, like paninis and cold sandwiches or flavours from across the world, including falafel or halloumi salads, Texan-inspired burgers and mouth-watering grilled cheese sandwiches.
The Street Angels Burger is a house speciality, not just because of its double beef patties, but because £1 of every burger sold goes to Leeds charity ‘Homeless Street Angels’
Wash their tempting treats down with a healthy energising coconut milkshake or try Tasty’s selection of sweet shakes made from ice cream and topped with either fudge, popcorn or pretzels.
Orders can also be delivered to selected Leeds addresses, so you don’t even need to leave the house to try these delicious delights.
Tasty Kitchen and Café host intimate events, business meetings and barbecues throughout the year, so why not use the Autumn Wreath Making Workshop as an opportunity to grab a first glimpse at what may become your next meeting spot?
Leeds City Council is asking people for their views about transport options and public space in the city centre.
Got some thoughts and feelings about how you'd like Leeds city centre to operate? Well now's your time to speak up.
Because people are being invited to give their feedback on current issues and improvements they would like to see around St. Peter’s Street, York Street, Eastgate, Duke Street, Kirkgate, Crown Point Road, Marsh Lane and East Street.
This area of Leeds is vital for those travelling in and out of the city, with many integral and busy bus routes passing through here.
The area is also home to leisure, cultural and educational facilities, as well as Leeds bus station, and has a large and growing residential population, making it a key area for people using the bus, walking, cycling, and travelling by car.
Between 2014 and 2024, there were 260 road related casualties in the area, including 32 serious casualties and three fatalities.
The council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority will use feedback to develop plans for safer ways of travelling for everyone and more welcoming public spaces.
Councillor Tom Hinchcliffe, Leeds City Council’s executive member for transport and planning, said: “This is an important step towards a transport system that prioritises efficient public transport and supports all forms of travelling, making it easier and safer for people to get around the city.
“Public spaces are there to be used and enjoyed by everyone, and it's important that we make these spaces welcoming, accessible and well connected.
"We urge everyone that travels through this area — whether you walk, cycle, drive, or take the bus - to take part in the consultation and share your views. By sharing your experience of travelling in the area, we’ll be able to make the right improvements to make it a safer, more welcoming space for everyone.”
Have your say before Tuesday 17 November by filling in a short survey, or attending a drop-in event. You can view the drop-in events here.
Leeds United is home to one of the Premier League’s cheapest stadium pints, new data reveals
Clementine Hall
Leeds United fans looking for a crisp pre-match pint, you're in luck.
Why? Because new data has revealed Leeds United as one of the Premier League clubs offering the cheapest pints in their stadium
And it's all down to credit card provider Zable, who analysed the average price of a pint at every Premier League stadium.
You'll be glad to know that Leeds United ranked a very respectable eighth among the Premier League teams with the cheapest pre-match pints, with fans paying an average £5.60 at Elland Road.

However, supporters can currently get a cheaper drink at pubs around the stadium, where the average pint costs £4.74.
Ipswich Town have the cheapest pint at £3.50, followed by Coventry at £3.60 and Hull City at £3.90.
The top 10 cheapest stadium match day pints:
Ipswich (£3.50)
Coventry (£3.60)
Hull City (£3.90)
Liverpool (£4.80)
Sunderland (£5.00)
Everton (£5.50)
Newcastle United (£5.60)
Leeds United (£5.60)
Bournemouth (£5.60)
Brighton & Hove Albion (£5.80)
Adam McAllister at Zable says: "For many fans, grabbing a pint before kick-off is part and parcel of the matchday experience, but our research shows that where you choose to drink can make a noticeable difference to the price. While stadium pints are often assumed to be more expensive, that's not always the case.
"With the cost of attending football continuing to add up, from tickets and travel to food and drinks, small differences like these can make a real impact on the overall cost of a matchday. Taking a little time to compare prices before heading to the stadium this season could help fans make their money go further, whether they choose to have a pint at the pub or inside the ground."
