Walk, Museum & Coffee (The Royal Armouries)

It's crazy how we haven't done an event to The Royal Armouries yet - arguably the jewel in the crown of Leeds museums. Like we did last year, we'll meet in our normal spot in City Square, walk to the museum to take a look around then meet for coffee later on.

You can see more details about The Royal Armouries here. You might be pleased to know the museum is FREE and no booking is required!

Approximate schedule:
12:45 - Meet at City Square (under the horse statue)
13:00 - Walk
13:30 - The Royal Armouries
15:00 onwards - Hot drinks at The Masters Cafe

Can I join the group at the museum instead?

Yes that's OK. This walk isn't all that long, so we should arrive no later than 13:30.

Getting here (City Centre)

City Square is right next to the train station and near to all bus connections heading in and out of Leeds. If arriving by car, there are plenty of spaces in the various multi-storey car parks nearby, but keep in mind it usually costs £3/4 per hour. Please set off in plenty of time since we cant wait too long for latecomers - better to get there early and grab a coffee than be late and miss the group.

Getting here (Museum)

If you're arriving via public transport, it's probably going to be easier to just join the walk since train/bus connections will be the same either way. If arriving by car, there is a multi-storey car park in the same complex as the museum though this has been known to fill to capacity. If you want assurance there will be a space, again it's best to park in the city centre and join the walk.

Walk information

The walk is around 1 mile on hard ground. We may take a slightly more scenic route since we don't need to cover much distance.

Bad weather

If heavy rain is forecast this event WILL go ahead but we will meet at museum instead. If light rain is forecast the walk will go ahead anyway, just bring weatherproofs. Please check back here for updates. If you have concerns about weather conditions message the host directly rather than posting about it in the comments/chat.
