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 Festival 2026 is officially underway and we've rounded up drinks prices at the bars on the festival site.
While many of us will be sipping on warm cans of cider and boxes of wine at the camp sites, you can't take any of your own alcohol into the arena (where all the stages are) itself.
So you'll need to budget for drinks over the course of the weekend if you want to watch the headliners with a pint in hand.
And with headline performances from the likes of Fontaines D.C., Raye, Florence and the Machine and Dave, there's masses of amazing live music on the horizon at Leeds Festival 2026.

Different for this year, is you'll get 10% off if paying with a Paypal debit card which you can get for free - which we think is pretty class and well worth your time.
You can take your own empty water bottles in to refill at water stations around the festival site.
You're also allowed to bring in sealed water/soft drinks which are 500ml or less.

Leeds Festival warning issued as police announce speed cameras and traffic restrictions
Clementine Hall
Leeds Fest is almost here, but festival-goers heading to Bramham Park by car have been warned to take extra care on the roads.
Driving to Leeds Festival has never been particularly easy, but West Yorkshire Police have issued a warning to those driving by car in an attempt to make it somewhat easier.
Ahead of Leeds Festival 2026, temporary traffic management measures will be in place from Wednesday 26 August until Monday 31 August.
The measures are designed to improve road safety, reduce congestion, and help ensure the safe movement of the tens of thousands of people expected to attend the event.
Speed camera enforcement vans will be operating throughout the festival period alongside clearways surrounding the festival site.
Police have warned that drivers caught breaking the temporary restrictions could face prosecution, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye out for the signage as you approach the festival.
Superintendent Dan Wood said: “Leeds Festival is one of the largest events in West Yorkshire and attracts a significant increase in traffic to the local road network.
"The temporary speed restrictions and clearways are being introduced to help keep everyone safe, including festival-goers, local residents and road users.
"We would ask all motorists to pay close attention to the temporary signage in place and allow extra time for their journeys. Speed enforcement will be carried out during the event, and we encourage drivers to comply with all restrictions for their own safety and that of others."
Festival attendees are also being urged to follow the event signage rather than relying solely on their sat nav. Dedicated routes will direct different categories of visitors to the correct locations, including:
Camping entrances
Day / Non-camping ticket parking areas
Drop-off and pick-up points
Staff and authorised vehicle access routes
Motorists who follow sat nav directions alone may be directed to unsuitable routes, causing unnecessary delays for themselves and other road users.
