Johnny Vegas' The Field of Dreams will be a unique glamping experience consisting of lovingly restored and converted vehicles.
After the roaring success of it's first season which saw Lancashire-born comedian, Johnny Vegas, follow his dream to create a glamping spot with a difference, Channel 4 has commissioned a second series of Johnny Vegas: Carry on Glamping.
This time, the glamping location has changed and we will watch as Jonny navigates the the challenges of expanding the site and developing the business.

The 2021 Yorkshire-based campsite was jam packed with bookings and received rave reviews, however ambitions for a bigger site meant Vegas had to move on from God's own country (much to our dismay).
The new site will be based at Melbourne Hall in Derbyshire, which is thankfully just an hours drive from Leeds.

The decision comes after the success of the inaugural Live at Melbourne Hall summer series of events in 2022, which saw Vegas handpick the Derbyshire home of Lord & Lady Kerr to permanently host his campsite.
The glamping site will officially open in April 2023 with bookings being taken now.

The Field of Dreams at Melbourne Hall will be a completely unique glamping experience consisting of lovingly restored and converted vehicles.
We're talking a German fire truck, Patricia the bus, an American School Bus and a classic Citroen Camper.
There will also be three new additions being added to the unique fleet for 2023; including a boat set for conversion to a stylish glamping pied-a-terre and even a helicopter!

The iconic vehicles will be situated across two sites, both within a short walk from the pool for those wanting to take a dip and admire the breathtaking views.
If you'd like to stay at Johnny's brand new site, then you can book via the Melbourne Hall website.
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
A new Irish bar with live music is opening in Leeds this weekend
Clementine Hall
We hope you like Guinness, because Leeds city centre is gaining another Irish bar.
If you're looking for a guaranteed night of fun, then you can do a lot worse than heading to your nearest Irish bar, grabbing a pint of the black stuff and dancing to some Irish music.
Located on Swinegate near the Malmaison Hotel, The Temple Tavern promises an authentic Irish experience.
We're talking plenty of Guinness, live music and of course, great craic. Although the latter part sort of relies on you...
Announcing the news to Instagram, The Temple Tavern said: "Swinegate… we’re coming for you. A brand new Irish bar is on the way, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.
"Think great pints, proper Irish charm, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps you out longer than planned. No gimmicks — just good craic, great drinks, and even better nights. Opening soon. Stay tuned."

And the opening night is here, as the new bar will be soft launching today Friday 3 July at 4pm, they continued: "Expect creamy Guinness, proper craic, authentic Irish music, and the warmest Irish welcome in Leeds. Be one of the first to raise a pint with us."
So rally your mates together, hit up the group chat and pay a visit to the city's newest bar, it'll be cheaper than a trip to Dublin that's for sure.
