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.
For more information, take a look at our music roundup where we break down who's performing over the weekend.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
