Leeds events guide: tours, comedy and markets to book

Leeds has a wide events calendar running across museums, markets, clubs, galleries and city-centre routes, with 619 listings shown in the Visit Leeds event directory.

For readers planning a day out, the current listings include long-running walking tours, a treasure hunt through arcades and alleyways, a ghost tour at Leeds Corn Exchange, comedy at The HiFi Club, market dates at Wellington Place and cultural exhibitions at Leeds City Museum and Leeds Industrial Museum.

Long-running city tours lead the listings

The longest-running item in the supplied Visit Leeds excerpt is Leeds Walking Tours, listed from 15 May 2021 until 26 February 2028. It sits alongside Treasure Hunt Leeds – Arcades and Alleyways, which runs from 25 May 2022 until 31 December 2027.

The listings point to a strong city-centre offer for people who want to explore Leeds on foot rather than attend a single fixed performance. Leeds City Centre Walking Tour is also listed, running from 21 October 2025 until 20 December 2026, with Leeds Art Gallery named as its venue.

For visitors and residents who prefer a darker evening-style activity, Leeds Ghost Tour is listed from 10 January 2025 until 3 January 2027 at Leeds Corn Exchange. The source excerpt does not give a time, ticket price or age guidance for that listing.

Museums, music and comedy run through 2026

Several listings continue through 2026, giving readers options beyond one-off weekend plans. Reel-ise is listed at Leeds Industrial Museum from 15 July 2025 until 16 July 2026.

Music Leeds Us: Celebrating 60 Years of Music in Leeds is listed at Leeds City Museum from 10 October 2025 until 28 June 2026. For readers interested in the city’s music story, that gives a cultural option with a defined venue and end date.

Comedy is also represented in the directory. Hifi Comedy Club is listed at The HiFi Club from 9 August 2025 until 1 August 2026. Glamour Pussy is listed separately at The Old Woollen from 12 December 2025 until 17 July 2026.

Markets and heritage offer regular local options

Leeds Kirkgate Market Tour is listed from 3 January 2026 until 5 December 2026 at Leeds Kirkgate Market. Real Markets at Wellington Place appears in the same directory, running from 12 November 2025 until 12 October 2026.

Those entries give the guide a useful spread: structured tours for people who want local history, market listings for browsing and shopping, and venue-based listings for comedy, music and exhibition visits.

Details to check before setting off

The supplied Visit Leeds directory excerpt confirms event titles, date ranges and several venues, but it does not show start times, end times, booking instructions, access information or individual ticket prices.

Readers should treat the dates as planning leads and check the full Visit Leeds event entry before travelling, especially where a listing runs across many months. The named venues in the excerpt are Leeds Corn Exchange, Leeds Industrial Museum, The HiFi Club, Leeds City Museum, Leeds Art Gallery, The Old Woollen and Leeds Kirkgate Market.
