Here are some ideas of things to do for my followers who live in or near to Leeds, London, Northumberland, Edinburgh and New York this Royal Wedding weekend:
|
Get a free cocktail,
enjoy a unique tasting experience, see an incredible show or bag a free
pint...
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rumour has it we're going to have a beautifully sunny weekend, so
what better time to head out to Yorkshire and enjoy a stint at a proper
country pub? We've rounded up the best of 'em, complete with stunning
views, quality beers and hearty pub grub.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cocktails in the City will bring together the best
mixologists in Leeds for a night of delicious tipples and you can get an
exclusive cocktail or tasting experience when you book with our deal.
|
|
|
|
The World Cup is almost upon us and you can catch every minute of
it at Roxy Lanes, Roxy Ball Room and the Parkside Tavern. Even better,
you can bag a free pint with our exclusive deal.
|
|
|
You gotta love tapas. Little plates of tastiness, best shared
between friends – it's an instant winner, but where should you get it in
Leeds? We've got the answer with our round-up of the best tapas joints in
the city. Tuck into everything from traditional Spanish tapas to Mexican
small plates.
|
|
|
|
|
Have you heard? Roxy Ball Room will be opening a second venue in
Leeds. Their new Merrion Street bar will offer pool, table tennis, beer
pong and shuffleboard – and you could get an exclusive preview at the
launch party.
|
|
|
|
This is one hell of a deal. Not only can you save up to £19.50 on
tickets to Opera North's rip-roaring musical Kiss Me, Kate, but you can
also get a free cocktail or G&T before the show. It's the perfect
night out, but you'll have to be quick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
With a beautiful weekend ahead of us, it's time to start thinking
about getting away, so why not try one of these walks? Not only is it
good for you, but you can enjoy incredible views along the
way.

Many of us were spellbound watching Major Tim Peake's space adventure –

his experiments, spacewalk and marathon during six months in orbit, and
his thrilling return to Earth in June 2016.
Yesterday
Tim Peake visited the National Museum of Scotland to mark the arrival at
the museum of the actual 1.5 tonne Soyuz descent module that carried him
safely home. Come and see this piece of space history for yourself and
experience what it's like to be an astronaut with a thrilling virtual
