If you're heading to Leeds Pride next weekend, then Behind Closed Doors are here to keep the party going.
Leeds Pride is one of the most important events in the city's social calendar.
And this year it is set to be a celebration even bigger and better than ever before.
Taking place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July 2025, the day is set to be packed with fabulous music, food, cabaret and more.

But if you're wondering where you'll go once the parade ends and music finishes, then think no more as we've got just the place for you.
Behind Closed Doors, Leeds' iconic adult-themed speakeasy on Call Lane are hosting pride afterparties all weekend long so you can keep dancing into the early hours.
Head on over to Behind Closed Doors for free entry as well as 2-4-1 cocktails if you show your wristband or say the word 'Pride'.
And to make it even better, £1 from each cocktail purchased over the weekend will go to a pride charity. Now how can you say no to that.

The drinking den will be open til 5am each night with vinyl DJs blasting the tunes til close, and the best part? You can bag yourself free shots with every drink purchased.
If that hasn't convinced you to text your group chat and get a night out sorted, then allow us to try and reel you in even more.
Behind Closed Doors, the self-professed ‘naughty’ bar that started over in Manchester, has taken Leeds by storm since its grand opening back in August last year.
Their ethos of Sex, Rugs & Funk ’n’ Soul means you'll find vintage erotica all over the walls, as well as retro phones on every table so you can ring your mates from across the room.
It's safe to say that this isn't just your average night out.
The drinks aren't average either, with a cheeky cocktail list featuring drinks like the Love Bite (pink gin, raspberry and cucumber slushie), Smoke my Sweet (a barrel stave smoked old fashioned) and Chocstar Martini (a chocolate espresso martini with whipped cream top).
There'll even be a pride cocktail menu for the weekend for you to get stuck into. And they don't just taste good, they all act as a great pop to snap a photo with too.

Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
