Don't want to just do the Christmas shopping this weekend? Well for those of my followers who live in or near to Leeds, London or Edinburgh, here are a few ideas of what to do this weekend:
WIN one of two NYE
nights out worth £550, bag a blowout party this January & why you need
to head to Leeds this Christmas...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's finally here – the Kitty Cafe opens next week and we've got
all the details ahead of the big opening. Find out what you can expect
from this cat-obsessed haven, from how it all works to what they'll be
serving in the cafe (spoiler – they've got 100 different kinds of tea!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're giving you the chance to win an incredible NYE night out – but
first you have to make a choice. Do you want a Manhattan style shindig
at East 59th or a Japanese feast at Issho followed by drinks
and dancing in the Kori Bar?
|
|
|
|
Whether you're doing last minute shopping, getting together with
friends or looking for a festive adventure that will make the Christmas
season that little bit more special, you'll find it in Leeds, along with
a few surprises...
|
|
|
From creative tasting menus that bring everyday ingredients
together in ways you'd never imagine to carveries you can pack up and
take away, these restaurants are wonderfully unusual – and you should
seek them out ASAP.
|
|
|
|
The old Next Clearance store has been transformed into an
eccentric restaurant.
|
|
|
Right now, it's all about Christmas. But we're thinking ahead to
January. Start prepping now – enter our competition for a chance to win a
wild night out at Smokin' Bar & Kitchen. Expect DJs with live
saxophonists & percussion – it's going to be one hell of a night
out.
|
|
|
|
Just because it's winter doesn't mean you have to hole up inside.
There are loads of lovely walks around Yorkshire that are even more
beautiful at this time of year, so wrap up warm and head out into the
countryside for brisk walk followed by a warming cuppa or a pint.
|
|
|
Dough Bistro is no more and in its place stands Aperitivo – find
out what to expect.
|
|
|
|
Okay, we're just weeks away now and our New Year's Eve guide is
bigger than ever. You've now got 70 events to choose from with everything
from family-friendly pantos to huge clubnights and fantastic tasting
menus. But you better get a wiggle on, you're running out of time.

Nutcracker in London & Southampton

Magically musical, a score by Tchaikovsky and
romantically danced: English National Ballet performers and
punters all love The Nutcracker.
It’s Christmas Eve and Clara and her Nutcracker doll fly from icy
Edwardian London to an alternate universe where she fights the
Mouse King and soars above the city in a hot air balloon. Book it early. 29 Nov to 6 Jan
