Multistories, Leeds' coolest new rooftop car park event, has launched a new series of bottomless brunches in collaboration with Masterchef star Matt Healey.
Taking place every Saturday between 12 pm and 2.30 pm, and every Sunday between 12 pm and 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm to 6 pm, this new sky-high boozy brunch is right up our street.
Hosted at Level 8 at Citi Park in the Merrion Centre with stunning views across Leeds city centre, you'll get stuck into 90 minutes of bottomless brunch - starting with a host of delicious tapas dishes from none other than Matt Healey.

Saturday's events will be a straight bottomless brunch with local DJ's on hand to provide the selections throughout, whilst Sunday's will take things up a notch once again by adding a series of themes into the mix.
The themed Sunday brunches will kick off with a ‘Diva Drag’ brunch on Sunday 8 August, with appearances from host Velma Cell and local star Karla Bear.
Going forward, these will chance weekly with future themes set to include disco, 80s and hip-hop.
There'll be props provided and you're expected to go all-out with your garms to make sure you really look the part.

£30 per head will get you unlimited prosecco, house beer and cocktails alongside some tasty plates from Matt Healey in the kitchen. The menu is yet to be revealed but given his track record we're sure it'll be excellent.
If you want to, you can also upgrade to a premium drinks menu to increase your choice on the bottomless option.
Speaking on the new brunches, Arron Fishwick the co-founder of the company behind Multistories said:
“We’ve had some recent success with our Camden Helles tanker party and people watching the Euros on our big screen.
"It seemed like the logical next step to offer bottomless brunch, but to take it to another level (literally) by introducing the themes on a Sunday for those looking for something a little different.
"It’s been incredible to see people coming together and enjoying themselves at Multistories over the last month and a half and we are determined to keep things fresh and interesting by now offering the highest brunch in Leeds city centre.
“Our whole aim for Multistories has been about bringing people from the hospitality sector back together to create something fun and cool. Not only that, but we want people to enjoy a safe space where they can meet and catch up over some delicious food and drinks."

Yorkshire residents are being invited to name two new bin lorries
Clementine Hall
Well...this is a new one.
Ever fancied naming a bin lorry? Well today is your lucky day, because now you can.
Yorkshire-based waste management experts Divert are celebrating the arrival of two swanky new tbin rucks by inviting the local community to help name them.
The iconic purple bins, vans and trucks can be seen across the Yorkshire area helping to clean up waste from Bradford to Harrogate.
Two new lorries are set to be joining the fleet in April and May, and of course they need a name.
And who better to ask than the general public? The winning names will be added to the cabs of each of the trucks for all to see, and announced via the Divert website and social media channels.
Absolutely anyone from across the UK is welcome to take part, but the company are especially keen for people from Yorkshire to enter.
You can be as creative as you like, but there are a couple of rules...
No swearing or offensive names. Aside from that, you can let your freak flag fly.
The Divert team are keen to hear the 'best celebrity puns, local namesakes, and downright silly names' the public have to offer.
John Verity, Managing Director of Divert, comments: “Naming our bin trucks is a great way to bring some joy to the local community. We hope to bring a smile to the faces of passing drivers and pedestrians as our fleet passes by.
“Not only that, naming our lorries can help our drivers to take pride and ownership in the vehicles they drive and be a key reminder of our engagement within the community. We’re always keen to employ any initiatives that help the public to engage with us and ensure we’re seen as a friendly face in the area.”
Winners will be voted for by the team internally, and the competition closes at 5 pm on 31 March 2026.
