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.
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival has announced the dates for this year's festival.
This year's festival will explore the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour: "To make art is to say we are here."
These words will reflect the content of this year's festival, which aim to keep Palestinian stories alive; defy the erasure of history; and bring voices from the depths of destruction.
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival will open Friday 13 November at the iconic Hyde Park Picture House with Life Support, a documentary about doctors in Gaza directed by Daniele Rugo.

The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the director and doctors from the film, chaired by Healthworkers4Palestine.
Early programme highlights include the UK premiere of Conversation with the Sea, Muayad Alayan's family drama in which a 60-year-old Palestinian man in Jerusalem, ordered by an Israeli court to pay a debt allegedly owed by his son who drowned decades ago, sets out to discover what happened.
Also showing will be Maggie Lemere's documentary, Land of Canaan, follows Palestinian farmers and their olive trees, some more than 1,000 years old, and the fair-trade movement led by Dr Nasser Abufarha to protect them.

Frances Bernstein, Festival Director, said: “To make art is to say we are here. We chose the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour as this year's theme because they reflect what the programme is for: keeping Palestinian stories alive, defying the erasure of Palestinian history, culture and identity, and bringing voices from the depth of destruction to audiences in Leeds."
The full programme, guests and ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks. You can find out more here.
Viral Yorkshire shop urges visitors to avoid weekends as huge queues form
Clementine Hall
A viral apothecary shop in Yorkshire has warned visitors about huge queues forming outside its doors, urging people to visit during the week if they want to avoid the crowds.
The Cabinet of Curiosities in Haworth has become a popular destination for those looking to really get into the autumn spirit.
And it seems like there's a lot of people who are looking to do so, as huge queues have been forming along the quaint cobbled streets of Haworth.
So much so, that owner Carolin had to issue a statement via The Cabinet of Curiosities Instagram page.

It reads: "Weekends in Haworth have become particularly busy during Autumn and we are so grateful to all those lovely souls who have patiently queued to visit the shop.
"We are so honoured that you are happy to wait to come in to our magical apothecary shop, and I can’t quite believe it when I look out of the windows and see the queue snaking up the cobbles. Be assured that the queue does move fast and it makes for a far more pleasurable visit if there are fewer people in the shop at once.

"If you would rather avoid the busy times it’s best to visit during the week if you can. Our shop is open 7 days a week 10-5, but to make sure all the shops in Haworth are open then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are probably the best days to visit.
"We are doing our best to keep up with restocking and our fabulous workshop witches are busy blending, filling and packing every day to keep to keep the shelves stocked. We are humbled and forever grateful that you love our little shoppe, and hope you enjoy your potions and your visit to The Cabinet of Curiosities."
