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.
