If you love good curry and beer, then this one's definitely for you.
A brand new food and drink festival is coming to Leeds this August, bringing live chef demonstrations, a host of stalls selling all the curries you can dream of, plus a selection of tasty street food dishes and free-flowing craft beer to the city.
Whether you're a fan of the dhansak, saag, korma, jalfrezi, or vindaloo, there's sure to be something for everyone here with the festival promising a ream of different street food traders turning up to cook on the day.
Of course, it goes without saying that Leeds knows what it's doing when it comes to top beer - so we expect to see some of Yorkshire's finest pulling up with their freshest craft brews too.
There'll also be live music, art, and craft events to keep the whole family amused - plus a huge funfair with big and little rides to suit all.
As you tuck into some of the tastiest curries this side of the Pennines, you can enjoy entertainment throughout the day from a host of local and international musicians.
Think bhangra dancers and dhol drummers, steel drums, and samba bands - all bringing the park to life with a rich variety of different music styles.
Take a wander, and you'll find glitter stations, face painting and henna artists to help get you and your group into the festival spirit - as well as interactive dance workshops for those really wanting to get stuck into the day.
There's really so much going on, with the festival also working with local artists on collaborative pieces that will be displayed throughout the park.
The all-day curry and beer festival is set to take over Roundhay Park this summer.
Taking place on 15th August from 11am to 8pm at Roundhay Park, tickets are on sale now priced at £5 for adults and £3 for children aged five to 12. Under fives go free.
Please note that tickets must be purchased in advance, as due to Covid regulations there will be none available on the day.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
