This Leeds Bar are hosting a Rocky Horror themed Bottomless Brunch on Halloween
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey to the only bottomless brunch any Rocky Horror Picture Show fan show be attending this Halloween.
This Halloween brunch is the perfect spot to spend the spookiest day of the year, but you may find yourself shouting "If only we were amongst friends... or sane persons" every once in a while.
On Sunday 31 October, grab yourself a place at the only Rocky Horror Picture Show brunch you'll want to attend.
Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that rock n' roll. Make sure to come in your finest fancy dress and shoes you can actually dance in as this fun-filled afternoon will have you on your feet for quite some time.
Combining the classic Rocky Horror Picture Show with the horror of Halloween: the two sittings at 11am and 6.30pm will have you the time warp again and again, regardless of which time you choose to attend.
Expect singing, dancing and even a Rocky Horror themed quiz to find out who the true fans of the Picture Show are. There will be prizes for both best dressed and top scorers, so come prepared to wow the judges with the answer to the question: whatever happened to Fay Wray?

All this time warping will surely work up an appetite, so tuck into a delicious brunch fit for any one of the cast.
Choose from a traditional Brunch Grill: your classic meaty English breakfast or opt for a gluten free version. Vegetarians and vegans will also be well catered for with a smashed avocado dish topped with tomatoes, chili flakes, coriander and Sriracha sauce.
If you're more sweet than savoury for breakfast, dip into a stack of pancakes layered with bananas and blueberries, with plenty of jam and nutella to pour over.
Prefer brunch to be bottomless? Well, it is Halloween after all. Upgrade to keep the booze and soft drinks flowing for the full experience.
Classics like Aperol Spritz, prosecco and Amstel will be available in the bottomless upgrade, in addition to Ketel V&T, 0% Heineken and selected soft drinks.
It wouldn't be a Halloween bottomless brunch without a Bloody Mary though, so take full advantage of the endless cocktails available and grab yourself a spooky mix to get into the Halloween spirit.
Although, that's a rather tender subject, another slice of brunch anyone?
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
Inside FaceGym – Leeds’ newest facial fitness studio loved by celebrities
Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready for your workout, because FaceGym has landed in Leeds.
You may be wondering...what on earth is Facegym? And to be fair, you've got a point.
FaceGym, as they themselves describe it, a 'non-invasive fitness studio concept for the face' using high-intensity facial massage, hand manipulation, and electrical muscle stimulation technology to tone, lift, and sculpt the face without surgery.
Sounds pretty fancy if you ask us, and it feels just as fancy from the moment you step through the door.

Unsurprisingly, it's loved by celebrities worldwide who are looking to get snatched and ditch their gua sha.
Currently occupying five standalone stores in London, one in Cambridge as well as a pop-up in Space NK in Selfridges Manchester, FaceGym will be opening this Friday 18 September inside the coveted Victoria Gate, taking over a 1,772 square foot studio.

The space really does look like a gym, ditching the standard beauty salon aesthetic for an American-style gym interior complete with the iconic red FaceGym balls all over the place.
A signature sculpt costs £110 for a 45 minute treatment, so it's definitely a treat if you're looking to have skin that can reflect the sun and cheekbones for days.

Angelo Castello, chief executive at Facegym, said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring Facegym to Leeds and to open in the beautiful Victoria Gate. The city has a thriving beauty, wellness, and retail scene, making it the perfect location for our next studio.
“We’ve seen growing demand from customers across Yorkshire, and we can’t wait to introduce even more people to the benefits of facial fitness.”
