Every event space in Leeds in one place. Awards dinners, product launches, exhibitions, private parties and much more.
At the top, the production venues: New Dock Hall at the Royal Armouries seats around 1,100 and the first direct arena converts its floor for the biggest ceremonies. The character tier is where the city stands out — Aspire's restored banking hall, the Victorian grandeur of Leeds Town Hall and Leeds City Museum's Brodrick Hall, Left Bank's Grade II* converted church — alongside converted warehouses like Project House in Armley, waterfront event spaces at Leeds Dock, and the stadium suites at Elland Road and Headingley.

Elland Road, the First Direct Arena, The Queens Hotel and New Dock Hall at the Royal Armouries can exceed 600+ guests. Only a handful, which is why big award events book earliest.
Bar and restaurant venues may waive hire fees if your party spends an agreed total, which can be better for both parties in some circumstances. However, a typical minimum spend depends on number of guests, type of event and whether it’s a peak time for the venue.
The Christmas market takes the biggest rooms for December, which will start booking from September onwards. Summer demand on terraces & garden marquees will book from early spring. Midweek is easier and cheaper at every tier.
If you choose a ‘dry-hire’ space, yes. But packaged venues will vary; most allow outside production and entertainment but will insist on providing their own catering. Always check before signing. Whilst a dry hire space gives you total control, a packaged venue will relieve much of the organisational admin.
Many venues are used for filming and product launches, it depends on the backdrop you’re looking for and budget. Production-ready spaces such as the First Direct Arena and New Dock Hall are built for it. Equally, the landscaped gardens and Victorian facade of Harewood House offer historical grandeur & style.
