Leeds
Simply exhilarating. That's the only way to describe this lively, cosmopolitan
city and its surrounding areas. Bradford and Wakefield are undergoing incredible
renaissance programmes. Add to this the stunning countryside of the Pennines and
Ilkley Moor, and you can ensure an unforgettable experience.
Whatever inspires your guests, a visit to this area will really deliver. Winter
sports lovers can skate over to Xscape in Castleford, where they can try their
hand at skiing on the amazing indoor snow slope. With sport in mind, treat your
delegates to a team building exercise at Elland Road, fabled home of Leeds United
Football Club, and get a feel for the atmosphere before a big game and even meet
some of the ex-players at an evening reception. For another superb team building
experience, head off to Wakefield for the National Coal Mining Museum where guests
can be lowered 140 metres into the bowels of the earth. From underground to overground
- what better way to see this beautiful region than from the air; book a helicopter
flight from a base near Leeds/Bradford international airport.
Bradford’s National Media Museum allows your guests to script, film and star
in their very own TV programme at Event TV. If that’s not enough drama for one
day, book your seats at one of the region’s world class theatres including the
West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds or Bradford’s Alhambra Theatre. Leeds has its
very own Harvey Nichols and designer boutiques galore in its glorious blend of
Victorian arcades and contemporary malls including The Light. For a well earned
pampering session, head off to the Titanic Spa near Huddersfield where your guests
can relax and enjoy an enticing selection of therapies. Dining out is a must,
with such award-winning restaurants such as Anthony’s in Leeds, The Box Tree in
Ilkley or any number of celebrated Asian restaurants in Bradford including Mumtaz
or Prashad. With fabulous boutique hotels like 42 The Calls in Leeds and elegant
country hotels such as Five Star De Vere Oulton Hall, Marriott Hollins Hall Hotel
near Bradford or the Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa in Leeds, this must surely be
the perfect destination.
