Priced from £40 per person, your ticket covers you for as many cocktails as you like in the 90-minute timeframe and a brunch plate of your choice, as well as helping to cover the costs of the brilliant Disney entertainers that will be in attendance on the day.
Promising to bring "all things Disney" to the city, the bottomless brunch will take place at The Shed in Kirkstall on Weave street on 16 October with doors opening at 11.30 am.
Expect to hear all your favourite feel-good anthems from hit films including Frozen, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Toy Story, The Lion King, Beaty And The Beast, Snow White and many more.

As for the brunch options themselves, choose from the likes of BBQ slow smoked pork shoulder served with BBQ liquor, crackling and yuzu slaw; or the house 'dirty' crispy fried chicken burgerwith shredded cabbage, dirty sauce, brioche, skin-on fries and crab seasoning.
For veggies and vegans, meanwhile, opt for the house vegan burger - which mimicks the meat version in plant-based form (without the added shredded cabbage and crab seasoning). If you have other special dietary requirements, dishes can be tailored on request by emailing the team.
