Chapel Allerton Arts Festival

Head to Chapel Allerton, one of Leeds' most charming residential neighbourhoods, and you'll find this genuine focal point for the creative community. It's the kind of place where locals actually gather—not for Instagram, but because there's proper art happening. The festival brings together visual artists, performers and makers across the year, transforming the area into a proper cultural destination. Whether you're stumbling across an exhibition on Regent Street or catching a live performance, there's a real sense that this matters to people here.
