2. When Rugby World Cup 2015 comes to Leeds expect a celebration
We’ll extend our warmest welcome, to fans from every nation,
It’s true! Our bars will come alive with each Rugby match retold:
The drama, joy or sorrow played out at Elland Road.
In Leeds we welcome every sport. Right here was where it started
When we cheered, one million voices strong,
As the Tour de France departed.
You see here, we’ll shout and sing and laugh,
Support your team – whoever…
We’d crowd around a game of chess if it meant a get-together!
But it’s this Test Match arena that draws fans from far and wide
Leather on willow, boot on ball, uniquely side by side.
We staged Calcutta Cup games a long, long time ago,
Union? League? Embraced them both – the passion grows and grows.
The very history of Rugby, in every blade of grass
Come along and take a tour, feel the memories, feel the class
...And, next door to our famous pitch, they’re pretty keen on Cricket
Bradman, Boycott and Botham have graced this hallowed wicket

FROM HOSTING SOME OF THE FIRST CALCUTTA CUP
GAMES AT HEADINGLEY STADIUM TO LAST YEAR’S GRAND
DÉPART OF THE 2014 TOUR DE FRANCE.
LEEDS,AHOSTCITY
This year, Leeds has been selected as one of the Host Cities for Rugby
World Cup 2015, continuing the tradition of hosting world-class major
sporting events. This will see Elland Road, home of Leeds United FC,
welcome a different breed of international sport stars, as Rugby Union

Italy will take on Canada in the first ever international Rugby Union
match at Elland Road, before Scotland play the USA. The results of both
matches will have an impact on which teams make it through to the

As the Tour de France departed.

7. LEEDS HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELD IN HIGH-ESTEEM IN THE
FOOD AND DRINK REALM, BUT IN RECENT YEARS THE
CITY HAS REALLY COME INTO ITS OWN AND BECOME AN
EMERGING FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
TRULYFOODIE
It’s the innovative independents and burgeoning street
food scene which is really making Leeds stand out, which
sit alongside the gastronomic stalwarts meaning there’s
something for everyone.
If it’s pre-match Indian street food and craft beer you fancy, or
a gourmet steak and delicious wine to celebrate your team’s
success, there’s something for everyone and every occasion
with the array of restaurants on offer in Leeds.
The city also has a whole host of world cuisine on offer, from
the award winning Café Moor in Kirkgate Market, which sells
some of the best authentic Middle Eastern food, and fresh
Asian flavours (served sizzling!) at Teppan 260 to traditional
Indian cuisine served at family owned Akbars.
Last but not least, Leeds is home to an abundance of proper
English pubs and an extensive range of locally brewed craft
beers, but there’s more on that later...

8. WHILE YOU’RE IN LEEDS, WHY NOT MAKE THE MOST
OF THE CULTURE THAT ABOUNDS IN THE CITY; FROM
ART GALLERIES AND THEATRES TO FASCINATING
MUSEUMS, WE’VE GOT IT ALL, AND TO TOP IT OFF,
MOST OF OUR ATTRACTIONS ARE FREE!
TRULYCULTURAL
There’s culture galore in the heart of Leeds, and with such a compact
city centre, many of these attractions are within walking distance,
meaning you can pack in several cultural experiences in one day, or
even one afternoon.
The Cultural Quarter to the North of the city is a great place to start;
Leeds Art Gallery, the Henry Moore Institute and Leeds City Museum
are all located here. Leeds Art Gallery has been described by The
Times as the best collection outside London and will also host British
Art Show 8 in October 2015. The Henry Moore Institute on the other
hand is part of the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle, which is the largest
sculpture collection in Europe, across three venues in Yorkshire.
It’s also worth wandering to the south of the city to Leeds Dock where
you’ll find the Royal Armouries and can discover Henry VIII’s original
armour and weapons and marvel at the remainder of the collection,
which is the largest collection of arms, armour and artillery in the UK,
which culminates in the epic Hall of Steel.
Evenings can be quickly filled with great theatre, as Leeds is home to
four major theatres and is proud to be one of the only cities outside
London with its own reparatory theatre, opera and ballet companies,
all of whom have extensive programmes throughout the year, with
shows including Northern Ballet’s Romeo & Juliet and West Yorkshire
Playhouse’s To Kill a Mockingbird.

TRULYHERITAGE
If you’re looking for a slice of true British history, then you
need look no further than Leeds; the city has plenty to offer
with a number of nearby historic houses, including Harewood
House and Temple Newsam, as well as Kirkstall Abbey, one of
the most complete medieval Cistercian abbeys in the UK.
Harewood House is one of the Treasure Houses of England
and, at just fifteen minutes from the city centre, it’s well worth
a visit. With a diverse art collection, including originals by
Turner, as well as royal connections and extensive grounds
and gardens, which includes an exotic bird garden, Harewood
House is a stunning example of British history.
The wider county of Yorkshire, as well as the city of Leeds, has
provided inspiration for a great many British literary icons. The
Bronte sisters lived in Yorkshire, and the dramatic landscapes
inspired Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights; Haworth and the
Bronte parsonage is open to the public and is approximately
45 minutes from Leeds, so makes an ideal morning or
afternoon excursion when staying in the city.

and Geoff Boycott’s hundredth first-class century scored during
1977’s Ashes test.

New Zealand, in May 2015 and the 4th One-Day International in

football, drawing large crowds of loyal fans to home and away
games alike.
