Here’s the story from A to Z…
Explore the student life and music in Leeds at the eve of a new millennium, led by a time travelling resident as part of Leeds400! We're getting Back to Basics with Wannabe pop stars and climbing the charts with Leeds' Tubthumping anarchists.
We encourage former students who studied in Leeds at this time to attend!
This event is part tour-part promenade performance and the only time you'll find a historical re-enactment set in the 1990s! 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 outside The Brudenell Social Club, moving through Hyde Park and Woodhouse Moor and ending at The Fenton Pub. This journey will take approximately an hour and end with the option of joining us for drink after to celebrate the year 2000 arriving! Both local and national history will be covered. Leeds Civic Trust members receive a special rate on their tickets. Please check out all our walks through Leeds from 1646 through to 1999, covering Meanwood, Armley, Hyde Park and the City Centre.
