Come not so little children, we’ll take thee away into a land of enchantment where there's a Hocus Pocus themed bottomless brunch this Halloween in Leeds.
You can pass on the chocolate-covered fingers of a man named Clark, but don't skip the option to upgrade to bottomless at this Halloween brunch.
On Sunday 31 October, grab yourself a place at the Hocus Pocus table for the full moon this Sunday 31 October, grab yourself a place at a brunch that's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus for all the right reasons.
Whether you believe that Halloween was invented by the candy companies or not, make sure to come in costume with address and shoes you can actually dance in as this fun-filled afternoon will have you on your feet for quite some time.
Combining the classic Sanderson Sisters' spooky concoctions with the horror of Halloween: the two sittings at 1.30pm and 4pm will have you shouting shove it, Satan for quite some time.
Expect singing, dancing and even a Halloween themed quiz to find out who knows their dead man's toes from their bucktoothed, mop-riding firefly from hell.

Choose from a traditional or gluten free Brunch Grill: a classic English breakfast with free-range eggs, sausages and crispy bacon or opt for a vegan-friendly smashed avocado dish topped with tomatoes, chili flakes, coriander and Sriracha sauce.
If you're more sweet than savoury for breakfast, no need to shout "oh cheese and crust", there's a delicious dip stack of pancakes layered with bananas and blueberries, with plenty of jam and nutella, waiting just for you.
Can you be trusted not to drink all of the cocktail potions from behind the bar? Upgrade to a bottomless brunch and keep those magical drinks following throughout your brunch.
Classics like Aperol Spritz, prosecco and Amstel will be available in the bottomless upgrade, in addition to Ketel V&T, 0% Heineken and selected soft drinks.
For a true Sandersons experience, grab a Bloody Mary though and all that's left to do is form a circle of salt to protect from zombies, witches, and old boyfriends.
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
