TalkTalk and Heart have teamed up to bring a spooky 'Fright and Delight' escape room to White Rose Shopping Centre from 10am until 6pm on Wednesday 27th October.
A trio of spooky pop-up escape rooms have landed in Leeds thanks to TalkTalk and Heart Radio Station.
For one-day-only, visitors will be channeling their inner Sherlock Holmes and using their detective skills to find hidden devices in White Rose Shopping Centre for the chance to win some incredible prizes from TalkTalk.
TalkTalk and Heart Radio pop-up escape rooms.
Dance to the tunes from the UK's largest commercial radio station and try to unravel the clues to escape, all whilst trialling Future Fibre.
Make sure you've had your morning coffee as the first exciting challenge is all about reacting to Batak-style lights in record timing. You'll then move on to the 'Concurrency' room where 75 golden coins are hidden somewhere within the escape room.
Even a metal detector won't get you out in time, but if you're smart enough to quickly find the treasure, you'll still have to face one more spooky surprise before escaping.
Lead your group around to the exit and watch out for rotten pumpkins, broken wheelbarrows and the scary pumpkin man on your journey as only the most reliable route will land your team back in time.
Oh and did we mention one member will be blindfolded and they can only be guided out verbally?

If you have no success escaping in time, there will still be plenty of opportunities to win big at this pop-up event. To celebrate the launch of TalkTalk's Future Fibre, there will be the chance to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nintendo Switch, a Ring Video Doorbell and much more.
Lucky winners and visitors alike can also grab a photo for the 'gram at the pop-up selfie station and share on social using #PoweredByFutureFibre.
Future Fibre is almost 50 times faster and five times more reliable than standard broadband, so clearly TalkTalk's latest launch is worth celebrating.
The pop-up event will demonstrate the capacity and speed of Future Fibre, which can effortlessly handle all household devices’ streaming, gaming and video-calling at once.
No more buffering WiFi? We're in.
For more information on Future Fibre from TalkTalk visit their website or come down to the White Rose Shopping Centre tomorrow between 10am and 6pm to see what the fuss is about at their free-to-attend escape room event.
If you’ve been wondering why you’re seeing a lot of free pizza lately, we’re here to explain the current Franco Manca pizza ‘run trend’.
And yes, we were the foolish ones enough to have not quizzed any of our jogging chums until now, meaning we’ve missed out on more money and free pizza. Sigh.
Nevermind, though, because at least we spotted it before the end of the month (this being Franco Manca’s main January deal), and we dare say that now you’ve heard about it, you’ll see plenty others popping up on social media with their free slices.
That’s right, it may be a very thin slice with a very long and thin slice, but that is as much of a pizza slice outline as we needed to qualify for the current deal.
Yes, we’re aware that the actual pepperonis on ours are more square than most – listen, we did our best, and we’ve certainly seen people pulling off better overall shaped pizzas than us; that’s part of the fun/and or challenge.
For instance, we didn’t mean for our picture to come out with one long crust running down either…
So, how does it work, you ask? Well, it’s quite simple, to be fair. All you have to do is run a pizza-shaped route (any pizza shape works, by the way), map your route on the likes of Strava or Apple Fitness, etc., then show your creation at your nearest and claim a quid off for every kilometre you run.
As advertised on the ‘Map My Pizza Run’ page on their website, the aim isn’t about putting pressure or hitting a strict target; you simply get rewarded the longer you go.
Here’s a handy example from a local running content creator for you:
There are some stipulations, such as not being used in conjunction with any other offer, one pizza map being valid per person, and the route has to have been run in January. You can find the full terms and conditions HERE.
Oh, and technically, you can do it however you like: run, walk, cycle – you name it. Other than that, we’ve pretty much given you all the info you need to know, so go and get yourself some free pizza.
UK punk icons The Stranglers announced as latest headliner of outdoor concert series
Clementine Hall
The Stranglers have been announced as the third headliner of 'Live At Tileyard North'.
The new two-week series of outdoor live music will take place in central Wakefield, with The Stranglers taking to the stage on Friday 21 August at the historic courtyard of Rutland Mills.
Formed back in 1974, The Stranglers quickly made a name for themselves by embracing the punk movement of the late 70s.
Their first three albums (Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes and Black and White) were released within just 13 months of each other, scoring hit singles with ‘Peaches’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Walk On By’.

In 2024 The Stranglers’ 50th anniversary year featured celebratory sell-out tours across the world and headline slots at festivals worldwide, including a sell-out performance at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
The Stranglers will be joined by a full supporting line-up including fellow punk legends Buzzcocks as well as alternative-indie quintet FEET and buzzy Irish garage rock trio Adore.
Previously announced Live at Tileyard North headliners include the Vaccines, who will be in Wakefield performing their critically acclaimed 2011 debut album What Did You Expect From the Vaccines? in full to celebrate 15 years since its release on Sunday 30 August, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor who will headline the outdoor venue on Thursday 27 August.
It's safe to say it will be a very fun two weeks indeed, now we just need to wait until summer arrives.
Postcode pre-sale for residents local to Tileyard North (WF1, WF2, WF3, WF4, WF5, WF6) will open at 10am on Wednesday 21 January here with general sale opening at 10am on Friday 23 January here.
