Trinity Leeds has spent the last few months making way for five new food and retail spaces.
What a year it's been in Leeds. From lockdowns to losing some of our favourite high street stores, 2021 has been full of highs and lows.
The Trinity shopping centre has played a huge part in the rejuvenation of our city in a post-lockdown world and have welcomed some new names throughout the year.

Launching its regional debut at the destination, resale fashion brand Relic x Hooked has opened a bricks-and-mortar home on Albion Street to showcase its handpicked vintage sportswear and streetwear.
Daniel Wilmot, Director at Relic x Hooked, said: “We are very selective when searching for new destinations to launch our collaborative stores, as previous experience has demonstrated the importance of location and links to the local community.

“With Trinity’s impressive array of retail names combined with its strong independent offerings and emphasis on localism, there was no question that it was the perfect destination for us. Our strong online presence has allowed us to gain significant traction and we are excited to be taking our next steps into physical retail with our Trinity unit.”
This news follows the opening of Space NK’s store, doubling the size of the brand’s previous Leeds unit, and a first store in the North of England for MINISO. Meanwhile fashion store Levi’s has also relocated from elsewhere in Leeds city centre.

In the new year, Nespresso is set to relocate to Trinity Leeds, with an interactive boutique concept with tastings, demonstrations and masterclasses – only available elsewhere in the UK at Bluewater.
This exciting revelation is just the first announcement of new stores to line Trinity's multi-storey shopping centre and we can't wait to see what else will come to Leeds in 2022.
David Maddison, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “Retail that provides a unique experience is essential for today’s consumer. This mix of new and best-loved brands bring great choice to Trinity Leeds that can’t be found elsewhere in the region, helping to create a place for retailers to succeed and to keep guests coming back.”

‘This Yorkshire city has it all’ – Leeds crowned as one of the UK’s most underrated city breaks
Clementine Hall
Leeds has been named as one of the most underrated city breaks in the UK by Time Out.
It's time to cancel your city break to London, Edinburgh or wherever you think the grass is greener...because Leeds is now the place to beat.
A new article by Time Out has crowned Leeds as one of the most underrated locations for a UK city break, and we couldn't agree more.
The article praises Leeds for it's fabulous independent music venues, sprawling green spaces and standout restaurants.

In fact, they perfectly paint out how your city break in Leeds could look. From seeing a gig at the Brudenell Social Club and enjoying dinner at the critically acclaimed Highland Laddie, to drinking at The Domino Club and exploring the 700-acre fields of Roundhay Park.
But don't just take our word for it, here's what the piece had to say about our wonderful city: "Anyone who has ever lived in Leeds already knows its brilliance. From unrivalled independent music venues to sprawling green spaces to quietly outstanding restaurants, this Yorkshire city has it all.
"But outside of God’s Own County, it’s not necessarily the first place people think of when planning a UK day trip or staycation...For starters, it’s the home of Brudenell Social Club, which Time Out recently crowned the greatest live music venue in the entire UK.
"Leeds’ food scene is something to behold, too. Bavette, with its perfectly prepared French fare, is Time Out’s favourite restaurant there (it recently earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its excellent value), closely followed by the uber-cool Empire Cafe, the wondrous Ox Club and the intimate Sushi Nakamura."
We agree with absolutely everything being said, and it's got us craving a city break in our very own city. You can read the full article here.
