Take a walk along the canal

With spring well underway, April is the perfect time to explore the areas of Leeds you maybe haven’t been to before. Wander down to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and take a stroll along the scenic walk. There’s plenty of cafes and coffee shops to grab a pastry from too if you start to get a bit peckish, or end at one of the lovely bars along the canal for a refreshing drink.

 

Take on some Easter baking

The end of term is fast approaching, and we know you’re looking for some last minute fun activities to do with your flat or house mates before moving out. Why not try some Easter baking? Make it as simple or extravagant as you like – our favourites are chocolate cornflake nests, mini egg brownies and a classic chocolate chip cookie. Make it a competition and tag us in the results, we can’t wait to see them!
