Celebrating all things dogs, those heading over to Revs will walk through the doors into the fairground-themed bar and wander between stalls stocking everything your pup could ever want or need.
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.
And because it's the most wonderful time of the year, expect plenty of festive props to take photos with!

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.
In fact, the well-known Revolution Happy Hour combinations will be available throughout the experience, ensuring that those looking for a boozy, fruity combo can pick up two cocktails for £10.

Choose from classic and Bubblegum Daiquiri, Strawberry Woo Woos and Pornstar Martinis with an eco-friendly twist (the bar group swapped out the passionfruit topper for a rice paper alternative that saves over 107 tonnes of carbon every year).
The Pup Up Cafe concept is so popular that Leeds' own Kalvin Phillips has been spotted at these events. The cafe event went viral after the former Leeds United player dropped by with his little sausage dog back in summer 2021 - and it continues to be one of the most exciting event for dog lovers in the city ever since.
There will be two Pup Up Cafes taking place on Saturday 17 December, one at 10am which is strictly Dachshund only, then at 2pm for all dogs and also includes a gift from Pure.

Yorkshire-set Christmas film by Leeds director starring Richard E. Grant set to hit UK cinemas next month
Clementine Hall
A brand-new Christmas film is hitting cinemas nationwide next month - and it’s a proper Leeds success story.
Jack Spring directed his first feature film at just 19 years old and has spent the last decade carving out a career in independent film, as well as co-founding Leeds-based production company Shush Films.
His first movie, Destination: Dewsbury, was shot just down the road in - you guessed it - Dewsbury. And after moving to Leeds from Grimsby, Jack became determined to build his business from the city, putting down roots and growing his production company here.

Now, after years of working on independent projects, Jack has taken his biggest leap yet with a brand-new Christmas film, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint.
Set in Yorkshire, Merry Christmas Aubrey Flint follows Aubrey Flint, a reclusive model soldier painter with a lifelong hatred of Christmas, who is sentenced to community service at Willow Lodge - a retirement home on the brink of closure.
Roped into helping with a chaotic production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Aubrey clashes with its interesting set of residents...
And the cast is about as star-studded as it gets, featuring Richard E. Grant, John Bradley, Celia Imrie, Adjoa Andoh, Sophia Di Martino, Adrian Rawlins and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The heartwarming festive comedy will hit cinemas nationwide on Friday 6 November - a huge milestone for a Leeds-based director and production company, taking a homegrown Yorkshire story to audiences across the country.
You just can't beat a proper wholesome British Christmas film, so you can best believe we'll be watching in the cinema, popcorn in hand.
