Happy Birthday Leeds!

Leeds celebrates 800th birthday

A week-long feast of medieval festivities and history is taking place in Leeds as part of celebrations marking the city's 800th birthday.
The picturesque village of Barwick-in-Elmet kicks off the festival with a medieval fayre, featuring fancy dress, market stalls and falconry.
A living history camp will be set up on the site of the ancient castle there.
Royal Armouries Museum staff will present reconstructions of a Medieval Huntress and Arming the Knight.
Later in the week, the International Medieval Congress takes place at the University of Leeds.
