Manahatta on Greek Street is toasting the end of restrictions at midnight on July 19 by handing out free glasses of prosecco to revelers.
To celebrate the return of unrestricted nightlife in Leeds, the popular Greek Street cocktail bar will be hosting a clock-strikes-midnight party to ring in the start of July 19 - dubbed "freedom day."

They'll be handing out free glasses of Prosecco at midnight for punters to toast each other with as they party into the early hours, enjoying a night out with no limitations for the first time in over a year and a half - with fifty up for grabs on a first-come-first-served basis.
There'll also be a big countdown at midnight, with confetti falling from the ceiling to mark the start of a new era of partying in the city post-covid restrictions.

Expect big tunes, top-notch drinks, and an electric atmosphere here as Leeds comes back to life at last: think dancing with your mates and ordering "twelve espresso martinis, please" at the bar, not on an app. It's all very exciting.
The news comes as bars and nightclubs around the city all begin to prepare themselves for the return of clubbing and nightlife events after more than a year out of work.

It's a huge moment for the many artists, promoters, DJs, and musicians in Leeds who have seen their whole world suspended for the past sixteen months - not to mention the hundreds of thousands of clubbers who are dying to be back out in the city enjoying a night out.
Elsewhere in the city, nightclubs in Leeds will be throwing open their doors at one minute past midnight to see in the early hours of freedom day with raves that stretch on until 6 am.
It's certainly going to be a wild start to the week.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
