Events this weekend in Leeds this weekend 🔥

Leeds is not exactly having a quiet one. With over two thousand people already poking at RSVPs, this-weekend in Leeds is looking busy in that very Leeds way: slightly chaotic, very social, and spread across some oddly specific interests. You have petrolheads at Skelton Lake Services, vinyl hoarders circling the Leeds Record Fair, and dog people comparing leads and outfits at Paws in the Park. It is the kind of line up that makes sense only if you actually live here.

If your love language is internal combustion and careful paintwork, the Skelton Lake Services Cars & Coffee meet is the one you go to first. It is pure motorway-culture Leeds, all engines and caffeine and people who happily talk exhausts for three hours. On the other end of the scale you have the Leeds Record Fair, which is basically cardio for crate diggers. Expect serious collectors, bargain hunters, and at least one person loudly insisting original pressings “just sound better”. They are not wrong.

Live music obsessives are spoiled too. Over at The Grove Inn, the wonderfully named Creedence Clearwater Revival Revival keeps classic rock heads very happy, all singalongs and stout and zero pretension. Holy Diva UK at The Duck and Drake leans into the same energy, just with more big notes and a proper pub crowd that actually watches the band instead of filming the entire set. These are exactly the kind of this-weekend events in Leeds that locals keep to themselves, mostly because they do not fancy you taking their spot at the bar.

If you prefer your chaos more family friendly, Middleton's Got Talent is pure community energy, chaotic in the best way, with neighbours cheering louder than any stadium crowd. And for something looser, the city’s regular haunts are still doing heavy lifting. Home Nightclub Leeds pulls in the late night crowd, Canal Club is for people who like their cocktails with a bit of posing, and Hyde Park Book Club quietly remains the indie kid favourite, with that mix of bands, art kids, and people pretending this is just “a quick drink”.

• Creedence Clearwater Revival Revival at The Grove Inn
