Leeds underground bar and club Distrikt is gearing up to celebrate its 15th birthday with not one, but two epic parties.
Get ready Leeds, because it's time to celebrate one of Leeds' best venues in style.
Spread across two nights on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 October, the events will incorporate Distrikt's courtyard and basement bar and will feature a stellar line-up of artists, all chosen for the mark they have each made on Distrikt over the past 15 years.
On Friday, Spillman joins forces with Pach for an exclusive back-to-back set alongside Marlie, Just Jam and Distrikt’s very own Mason Talbot - a set of artists that have shaped their careers around the venue.

Part two on is not only a UK first but a global debut as Leeds’ very own Tristan da Cunha and Reeshy team up with Silverlining for a world exclusive back-to-back. With a career spanning 25 years and a dynamic underground dancefloor sound Silverlining is a hugely respected artist, making this trio a collaboration not to be missed.
And the best part? Entry is completely free.
Distrikt co-owner, Rosita Rogers, said: “Our 15th birthday celebrations will be a truly special two-part showcase. We have considered the line up very carefully and wanted to invite some of the most prominent figures on the Leeds circuit as well as some rising stars and those DJs who have a strong connection to Leeds and the venue.

“There is some exceptional homegrown talent here in Leeds and we are really excited to have a line-up that pays homage to that. We also can’t wait to welcome Dan Ghenacia back to the club after a phenomenal set on New Year’s Eve 2023 when he blew everyone away, so we are expecting more of the same!”
“Our birthday showcase is a nod to the journey we’ve been on over the last 15 years and a thank you to everyone that has joined us along the way. We wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for our amazing loyal customers who keep the dancefloor going week after week. This celebration is just as much theirs as it is ours.”

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.
