During the festive season we all love to get together with friends, family and loved ones to see a show and enjoy some glitz and cheer. And in Leeds we’re spoilt for choice with four fabulous state-of-the-art theatres – Leeds Grand Theatre, City Varieties, Leeds Playhouse and Carriageworks Theatre – where you can catch traditional classics and new favourites.
From classics of pantomime and ballet to brand new adaptations of family favourites. From candlelight concerts for all musical tastes to the much-loved City Varieties’ Rock and Roll Panto. You won’t want to miss out on seeing a spectacular show as part of your #LeedsChristmas. Scroll down for the full festive programme!
