Fancy a free bit of scran? Then do not fear, as our good friend Ronald McDonald has got you covered this festival weekend.
It's that time again, Leeds Festival is taking over Bramham Park for one of the biggest weekends of the year and it's going to be a good one.
With hundreds of food vendors setting up camp, the beloved golden arches are getting in on the action and making a very special appearance is Ronald McDonald and his trusty helpers.
This summer the fast food giant have been handing out freebies all festival season and luckily for us, Leeds Fest is their next stop.
So, what's on offer? This year you'll be able to get some free fries from the stall during your visit, making it the perfect pitstop to make between acts in order to refuel and revitalise.
And it doesn't just stop there, Maccy D's will also be giving away some free merchandise including themed summer shirts, hair braiding and glitter. Seems a little bit different than your average drive-thru experience and we are here for it.

As reported by LeedsLive, a spokesperson for the fast food chain has said "McDonald’s will be rocking up this year with its airstream camper serving free fries to approximately 100,000 festival-goers. And as part of the activation, also giving away free McDonald’s themed summer shirts plus free braiding and face glitter stations."
The festival, which kicks off today for the eager early birds, is set to be one for the history books. The Arctic Monkeys, Dave, Bring Me The Horizon, The 1975, Halsey and Charli XCX are all headliners and will be sure to bring a massive crowd making it a weekend not to forget.

The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
