If you’re organising a sit-down dinner, you also have many restaurants to choose from that specialise in holiday gatherings.

The strongest areas for a party are Leeds City Centre for choice and transport, the Cultural Quarter (Leeds Dock) for larger waterside events, and the nearby suburbs for a relaxed, local do.
Leeds City Centre – most central and best-connected. Walking distance from the rail station and every main bus route, with the highest concentration of festive spaces.
Nearby suburbs to consider. For a relaxed do closer to home, look just outside the centre: Headingley to the north-west, or Chapel Allerton – try Further North – North Bar (up to 50, from £200 minimum spend).
