Leeds LGBTQ+ Angels

Join us on Sunday 28th of June from 3:30pm for the next free event in our wellbeing series funded by Being You Leeds – a LGBTQ+ outdoor lyrical-esque dance session at Kirkstall Valley Farm (all levels welcome) from 3.30pm to 4.15pm followed by a taster session at Leeds Community Sauna (located in the same place as Kirkstall Valley Farm) from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

The dance space is an outdoor grassed area and you're welcome to wear whatever footwear you find comfortable or dance barefoot.

The maximum capacity in the sauna at any one time is fifteen people so you will also be welcome to take a moment to relax at the river edge in the sauna's newest space - The Glade - while you wait. Once the session at the sauna ends you will also be able to hang out and relax in The Glade so you won't have to rush off.

Meet at the farm entrance from 3.15pm ready for the 3.30pm dance session start or head to the community sauna for 4.30pm if you can't make the dancing.
You can find more info, ask any questions you might have and let us know you will be attending here!

In partnership with Being You Leeds - JULY 2026 IS BEING HOSTED AT SWARTHMORE CENTRE

Cultural Kitchen is a monthly community meal bringing people together through traditional, home‑cooked food, shared by members of our community.

These evenings are rooted in connection, wellbeing and belonging.

Food is prepared by our members, drawing on their cultural traditions, and shared in a relaxed, welcoming space where people can spend time together, meet new faces and enjoy a meal made with care.

Please confirm if you require a vegetarian dish.

As part of the next chapter of Cultural Kitchen, we’re opening up bookings and inviting people from Leeds’ local queer, ethnically diverse communities to join us around the table. While the heart of the event remains community‑led, we’re excited to welcome new people to share the space and enjoy the food together.

These events are free to attend, thanks to the partnership with Being You Leeds, however donations are accepted by the Angels of Freedom CIC to support our range of community activities.

What to expect

• A shared evening meal, freshly prepared by members of our community, typically served around 7pm
• Traditional cultural dishes (menu varies each month)
• A relaxed, social environment focused on wellbeing and connection
• A safe, respectful and inclusive space

Important food information – please read:

Cultural Kitchen is a community‑led food‑sharing event, not a commercial catering service.

• We are unable to cater for food allergies, intolerances, or special dietary requirements.
• Food is prepared by different community members each month, often using shared kitchen facilities.
• Ingredients, preparation methods and cross‑contamination cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or dietary requirement, we kindly ask that you do not attend expecting to eat the food provided. You are welcome to come along for the social aspect only, but you do so at your own discretion.

Hot food will be served on the evening. Please take care when handling hot plates and food, and let a volunteer know if you need any assistance.

By attending, you acknowledge that:
