Revolution Electric Press is hosting a sausage dog day this month with 100+ pups and 2 for £10 cocktails
The next Pup Up experience is Sunday 26 March 2023, where there will be two sessions, each with space for 50 Dachshunds and plenty more humans to head into Revolution Electric Press.
The Pup-Up cafe is all about bringing together four legged friends for a day like no other.
On Sunday 26 March, the much-loved Pup-Up cafe returns to Leeds, and is set to take over one of Leeds' best known brunch spots.
Revolution Electric Press has everything you need for a truly Instagrammable day - whether it's grabbing a classic avo on toast, fruity cocktails designed for making a statement or they're filling the bar with teeny sausage dogs, it's safe to say the bar has plenty to enjoy.

Attracting attention across Leeds and beyond, the Pup Up Cafe at Revolution Electric Press is a true dog-lovers experience.
Celebrating all things Dachshund, those heading over to Revs will walk through the doors into the fairground-themed bar and wander between stalls stocking everything your pup could ever want or need.
And there's a photographer to capture all of the action too. From candid shots of the day to full on photoshoot moments in ball pits and velvet sofas, you and your dog will be papped throughout the experience so you can look back and remember the occasion.

Everything is perfectly laid out for dogs and humans alike. You can grab unlimited dog-friendly puppuccino treats for your pet with ease and mingle with like minded dog owners and pups as far as the eye can see - you're bound to make some new four legged friends in the process.
Even if you don't have a dog yourself, Revolution Electric Press and the Pup Up Cafe are making this an accessible space for all to enjoy. There will be a safe and secure 'off lead time' area where dogs can hang out, and space for humans to hang out at the bar, cocktail in hand.
In fact, the well-known Revolution Happy Hour combinations will be available throughout the experience, ensuring that those looking for a boozy, fruity combo can pick up two cocktails for £10.

Choose from classic and Bubblegum Daiquiri, Strawberry Woo Woos and Pornstar Martinis with an eco-friendly twist (the bar group swapped out the passionfruit topper for a rice paper alternative that saves over 107 tonnes of carbon every year).
The Pup Up Cafe concept is so popular that Leeds' own Kalvin Phillips has been spotted at these events. The cafe event went viral after the former Leeds United player dropped by with his little sausage dog back in summer 2021 - and it continues to be one of the most exciting event for dog lovers in the city ever since.
The next Pup Up experience is Sunday 26 March 2023, where there will be two sessions, each with space for 50 Dachshunds and plenty more humans to head into Revolution Electric Press.
Regional leaders have confirmed a rail project in the North of England with first improvements taking place in Yorkshire.
The long-awaited Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) project will see a whopping £45 billion worth of upgrades.
The first phase will see the construction of a new station in Bradford followed by upgrades in Leeds, York and Sheffield.
The electrification of lines between Sheffield and Leeds, Leeds and York and Leeds and Bradford will be the first priority and is expected to be completed in the 2030s.
The scheme has been described as "a once in a generation commitment to improving transport across the North".
Announcing the scheme, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: "I spent three happy years in Leeds as a university student, a vibrant city I was proud to call home, but I've seen first-hand what underinvestment and empty pledges do to cities across the North.
"This government is rolling up its sleeves to deliver real, lasting change for millions of people through a major new rail network across the North that will deliver faster, more frequent services."
"This cycle has to end. No more paying lip service to the potential of the North, but backing it to the hilt. That's why this government is rolling up its sleeves to deliver real, lasting change for millions of people through Northern Powerhouse Rail: a major new rail network across the North that will deliver faster, more frequent services."
Stage two of the plan will include upgrades around Manchester, with the final stage delivering a new railway between Bradford and Huddersfield that wouldn't be delivered until the 2040s.
In a combined statement, the regional mayors of West, South and North Yorkshire said: "The long-term commitment will transform Yorkshire's transport network and deliver improved links across our region and on to Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle.
"It'll mean we can deliver quicker, more reliable journeys, opening up more choice around work, skills and opportunity for everyone across Yorkshire."
The Boots recycling scheme where you can get £5 off every shop

UK high street retailer and healthcare shop Boots has launched an innovative recycling scheme that entitles customers to £5 off their future shopping trips.
If you're still struggling to come up with a New Year's resolution, why not try a spot of recycling and earn some money off your next cosmetics shop while you're at it?
Started in 2020, the Boots Recycling Scheme allows Advantage Card holders the opportunity to get money while also being more conscious about how we recycle our used health and beauty products.
Their third party app Recycle at Boots uses a Scan2Recycle system where users can upload items from various beauty brands by taking a picture of the empty packaging before identifying its form.
This scheme takes items that can't usually be recycled at home such as lotion pumps, toothpaste tubes, lipstick, mascaras, travel minis, make-up palettes and more.

Once you have five items approved, head over to your nearest participating Boots store, drop off your empties and scan the QR code on the deposit box.
After you've followed all these steps, a voucher will appear entitling you to 500 Advantage Points when you spend £10 in-store, and not only do you have £5 worth of points with your name on it, you're also an eco-warrior.
There's even a dedicated section of the app to recycling empty medicine and vitamin blister packs which gives customers 100 Advantage Points, when you spend £5 in-store - This is brill.
Items dropped into these deposit boxes are taken to MyGroup, a recycling and waste management service which works around the clock to help divert waste from landfill.
These empties will be washed and traditionally recycled into a material called MyBoard, a construction board material most similar to plywood with lots of different uses.
