Ready for another week of summer fun? Of course you are.
We can't quite believe that we're already in the third week of July now, and even after our social calendar has been packed full of loads of foodie festivals, cultural celebrations, sporting tournaments, and wholesome family-friendly events so far this month, there’s even more where that came from this week.
Finding it a bit tricky to pick what to do though? As always, we’ve chosen a few of the best bits for another edition of our ‘ what’s on ‘ guide.
Here’s some of our recommendations.
Free iced coffee at 200 Degrees

Fancy a free coffee? Silly question, of course you do. And to bag yourself one, all you have to do is get yourself to 200 Degrees on Bond Street this Tuesday 16 July from 10.30am.
But there is a slight catch, you’ve got to be in the first 200 people because once they’re one, they’re gone.
One of Europe’s largest parks has just opened a fun new sculpture trail perfect for the whole family. The new attraction has been created by Yorkshire chainsaw artist, Shane Green.
Known as the ‘Yorkshire Carver’, Green has transformed felled beech trees into gorgeous sculptures of owls, herons, butterflies, fish and more. He has created a total of 16 tree sculptures for visitors to discover and marvel at throughout the 700-acre park.
Did someone say thirsty Thursday? Yep, Leeds’ newest wood-fire kitchen and bar Galleria did.Â
They’re making Thursday the new Friday with their brand new Bottomless Thursday deal. We’re talking two dishes plus unlimited drinks for a whopping 90 minutes, where you can pick from a huge menu of tipples including Aperol spritzes, spicy margaritas, espresso martinis and negronis.
Food wise you can pick one of their iconic wood-fired flatbreads as well as a seasonal plate, from fresh salads to wood-fired chicken with home fries.Â
The perfect pre-gig fuel before heading into Project House or just because you fancy breaking the rules and playing out on a weekday, book your table here.
Graduation menu at Cut and Craft

It’s time to say cheers to the class of 2024, and where better than Cut and Craft.
For just £45 per person, enjoy three courses plus a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast to the class of 2024 with your loved ones on your special day.Â
Of course their steaks are a cut above the rest, but there’s an option to suit everyone from a delicate fillet of sea bass to sizzling halloumi fajitas.

A new Irish bar with live music is opening in Leeds this weekend
We hope you like Guinness, because Leeds city centre is gaining another Irish bar.
If you're looking for a guaranteed night of fun, then you can do a lot worse than heading to your nearest Irish bar, grabbing a pint of the black stuff and dancing to some Irish music.
Located on Swinegate near the Malmaison Hotel, The Temple Tavern promises an authentic Irish experience.
We're talking plenty of Guinness, live music and of course, great craic. Although the latter part sort of relies on you...
Announcing the news to Instagram, The Temple Tavern said: "Swinegate… we’re coming for you. A brand new Irish bar is on the way, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.
"Think great pints, proper Irish charm, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps you out longer than planned. No gimmicks — just good craic, great drinks, and even better nights. Opening soon. Stay tuned."

And the opening night is here, as the new bar will be soft launching today Friday 3 July at 4pm, they continued: "Expect creamy Guinness, proper craic, authentic Irish music, and the warmest Irish welcome in Leeds. Be one of the first to raise a pint with us."
So rally your mates together, hit up the group chat and pay a visit to the city's newest bar, it'll be cheaper than a trip to Dublin that's for sure.
