Returning for another year after a huge comeback festival in 2021: Mint Festival is taking live house, techno and electronica music to a whole new level.
Set in the baking sun spot over at Temple Newsam, a mere ten minutes from Leeds city centre, the 136 acre farmland is set to transform into a music-lover's dream setting this September.
Taking place on Saturday 10 September 2022, expect twelve hours on non-stop tunes with pyrotechnics breaking up each act with explosive show-stopper production visually.
Set across four different tents this year, 2021 favourites like Darius Syrossian and Eats Everything will all return to the stage along with Elliot Adamson, Fleur Shore, Friction, Girls Don't Sync and so much more.
Enzo Siragusa will be brightening up Mint Festival with the mighty FUSE, whilst Patrick Topping's essential Trick and dance music titans DJ Mag will set alongside Worried About Henry, the D&B influencers that are renowned for throwing the biggest events of their kind all over the UK- so there will be plenty to get involved in.
The FUSE stage returns with the sole purpose of bringing the party atmosphere to Temple Newsam, with label founder Enzo Siragusa will be joined by a very special yet to be announced guest- so watch this space.

Underground legend Sonja Moonear plus Rossko, Rich NXT and System resident Bobby ODonnell will be bringing the tunes as skies fade to black and bring stripped back and dubbed out tech, garage, house and breaks- all pumping from giant speakers dotted around the festival site.
But there's so much more than music going on here. Expect easy access bars to provide the drinks, adrenaline-fuelled fairground ride and a whole host of foodie options that challenge the typical greasy burger van expectation with healthy options aplenty.
All this is set to the beautiful backdrop of Temple Newsam, with miles of lush grassland and acres of woodland, this truly is going to be a rather special music festival that offers so much more than heavy beats.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale from Tuesday 10 May 2022, allowing you to save up to £40 on the RRP. General sale begins on Thursday 12 May 2022 at midday.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
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.

Step through the original church door and you'll be met by a striking open-plan living space with a fully functioning log burner to keep you warm through the winter months, complete with a beautiful contemporary kitchen which has been renovated to the highest spec.
The floating first floor features a glass landing that overlooks the ground floor below, and of course there's stunning stained glass windows throughout the property.

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.

"Every detail has been tastefully and skilfully executed, carefully preserving original features while introducing modern design and comfort. The stained glass windows, original pulpit and pews remain as stunning focal points — a real marvel and a tribute to the building’s heritage."
