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?
Britain's 20 biggest cities have been ranked, and Leeds has done pretty well.
Although, you wouldn't be able to tell judging by the overwhelmingly lacklustre description we've been given.
The listing comes from The Telegraph and ranks Britain's 20 biggest cities from worst to best, taking into account visitor appeal and where offers most to tourists.
Leeds comes in at a very respectable number 10, however judging from what they've said about our city you'd think we were much, much lower.
Kicking things off, the description reads: "There’s an untidy quality to Leeds, borne of a patchwork of periods in its built environment and the fact that a lot of regeneration is underway (cranes rise at every corner)."

Yep, not off to a good start but it's only down hill from there as Leeds is then said to have a 'certain shapelessness'.
But perhaps the worst part is yet to come: "There are some ugly, run-down streets very close to the centre, and while the Headrow and other high streets have a fair number of shops, there’s no real boulevard or grand square.
"The most atmospheric spaces are Queens Arcade and perpendicular Cross Arcade, and Thornton’s Arcade; Grand Arcade is also Victorian but looks and feels less uplifting."
By the end it starts to get slightly more positive, emphases on 'slightly': "Leeds’ strongest points might be its small size and its north-central location; it’s easy to walk everywhere inside the city, and a short ride away are Ilkley, Skipton and the Dales."
Our visitor appeal gained a 6.5/10, beating Cardiff, Sheffield, Brighton and Nottingham.
Taking the top spot was Liverpool followed by Edinburgh, Belfast and Glasgow. Read the full ranking here.

They've been teasing a second site for some time now but finally the cat is firmly out of the bag as they've announced they'll be bringing Domo to Leeds.
But where might you ask? Well, none other than the scenic location of the Lockside overlooking the canal.
Slotting right in next to BAKE, they're going to be in very good company indeed.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
We can't wait to have you here in Leeds Domo, but for now we'll pop round to Sheffield to get our Domo fix and we highly suggest you do too.
