Venture back in time and visit Leeds in 1918 for a story of Canaries, cages and the war on peace, led by a time travelling resident as part of Leeds400! As The Great War comes to its close, what will peace bring to the residents of Leeds?
This event is part tour-part promenade performance. Ask your historical host anything you want, she'll be sure to have an answer! This is a unique way of experiencing history that shouldn’t be missed!
We will start by the junction of Armley Road and Albion Way moving past HMP Leeds and ending at New Wortley Cemetery.
