Leeds Experience Days

Experience Days Out in Leeds

From such small mill town acorns in the Industrial Revolution, Leeds has grown into a mighty oak of a city - the main one in West Yorkshire, in fact - with this and its conurbations still well connected to its historic links with the flax industry, iron foundries, engineering and printing, and its majestic Victorian era buildings such as the old County Arcade of the Victoria Quarter, Leeds Town Hall and Kirkgate Market.

An eclectic and cosmopolitan place with plenty of culture, shopping and entertainment to enjoy, it makes sense that some of our very best experience days out are available to book both in Leeds itself and just outside in the surrounding towns and villages. And we're confident you and your friends, family or loved ones will find something different to head out for.

Best Days Out In Leeds

Those who want to explore with their tastebuds will find that Leeds affords plenty of opportunities to do just that. Take, for instance, our luxe collection of Chocolate Making workshops.

At the Novotel Hotel on Whitehall Quay, you and as many as two or four people can enjoy a 1 ½ hour long session making the finest Belgian chocolate truffles by hand, all enjoyed with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco to share after you've finished - and devoured - the fruits of your labour!

Perhaps it's drinks that appeal more to you? In which case, there's a number of drinks masterclasses available where you can create or taste spirits such as Gin, Rum and Whiskey under the guidance of experts.

And there's also the chance to work with mixologists producing amazing alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails at the Liquor Studio micro-distillery right in the heart of the city.

Fun Things To Do In Leeds

For those who love their animals, a number of our Animal Experience Gifts will give them the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with a number of fine two legged and four legged friends.

Just half an hour outside the city near Halifax are some incredible Falconry Experience packages, which give you the chance to handle and walk with a number of different birds of prey including owls, hawks, falcons and even a Chilean blue eagle, on sessions conducted in small groups for a truly intimate yet immersive experience.

Of course, one thing West Yorkshire is famous for is the rolling Ilkley Moors - which are the ideal destination for our Sheepdog Experiences, where you'll be working with a Border Collie dog under qualified trainers and behaviourists, as you learn about the importance of their role in sheep farming and even have the opportunity to shepherd a small flock of sheep to put your herding skills to the test!

And for those who prefer to get up and away into the skies, you can also book in for one of our Helicopter Flying Lessons at Leeds Heliport, as you learn the basics of flying straight and level over Leeds and the surrounding area under a qualified helicopter pilot over a 30 minute or 60 minute lesson in a two or four seater Robinson R22.
