Leeds Events

Experience the excitement of reliving some of the most important moments in our history – from early history to the present day. Costumed demonstrations, authentic re-enactments, entertaining films and interactive technology all give you a true sense of how it felt to be involved.

Throughout the year, live performances put you in the midst of the action. From April to October we recreate jousting tournaments, and let you get close to the falcons and horses that are part of the pageant. Or you may prefer to witness swashbuckling pirates, or Joan of Arc rallying her troops.

Find out what’s on with our events calendar.
