That’s right, the Pup Up cafe at Revolution Electric Press is back… and this time it’s got a spooky makeover.
Attracting attention across Leeds and beyond, the Pup Up Cafe is a true dog-lovers experience. This year the Pup Up Cafe are hosting three events so all breeds of dogs can get in on the action, how generous is that?

Celebrating all things dogs, those heading over to Revs on Call Lane will walk through the doors into the Halloween-themed space complete with a black flower wall perfect for getting this snaps.
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.
The Pup Up Halloween Cafe will take place on Sunday 19 October May 2025, and you can book your ticket here.
As one of the top ten places to live, as voted for by The Sunday Times, Chapel Allerton is a hive of community-spirit withlots to explore.
Back in 2021, The Sunday Times judges said that Chapel Allerton is: “a well supported independent high street – with a fishmonger, bookshop, cheese shop and much more – and an inspiring and imaginative community group, CA Spaces, make this urban village our favourite corner of Leeds.”
They’re not wrong. One of our favourite points about Chapel Allerton is its strong focus on supporting local businesses- there aren’t many places in Leeds, or indeed the UK, that you can visit a separate butchers, greengrocers, cheese mongers, wine store and more to complete your food shop with all locally grown and sold produce.
That’s not all that Chapel Allerton has to offer: there’s a host of indie cafes, plenty of green space and even a posh Aldi (whatever that means) that keeps this a family favourite place to visit.

Jacob Elordi says the sexiest thing about Yorkshire is ‘rocks and sheep’
Clementine Hall
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
