Young people in Leeds can look forward to another sparkling summer of outdoor fun as the city’s annual Breeze In The Park entertainment extravaganza celebrates a special milestone. |
Organised by Leeds City Council, the roadshow-style programme will see more than 25 interactive play days for children and teenagers taking place in various parks and green spaces over the next five weeks.
Each day’s attendees will be able to enjoy a jam-packed array of activities, featuring everything from sports and games to art and music – and, of course, Breeze’s famous giant inflatables. Partner organisations and other council services – including Zero Waste Leeds, Leeds Young Film and Leeds Libraries – will also be running a range of taster workshops and hands-on experiences. And all those involved will be aiming to ensure that 2024 – which marks 20 years since Breeze-themed events started in the city’s parks – is a real summer to remember for local youngsters. The schedule gets under way with a visit to Belle Isle’s Coopers Field – the new name for Parkside Playing Field – tomorrow (Wednesday, July 24) and ends at Manston Park in Cross Gates on Thursday, August 22. Other communities welcoming the Breeze team for day-long stop-offs will include Pudsey, Gildersome, Armley, Harehills, Otley, Burmantofts, Morley, Tinshill, Farsley, Horsforth, Yeadon, Potternewton, Middleton, Bramley, Rothwell, Seacroft and Halton. Events in Bramhope, Beeston, East Ardsley, Wortley, Kirkstall, East End Park, Wetherby and Cross Gates will include relaxed and quieter sessions for children with additional needs. Each day will have two main sessions, one running from noon to 2.30pm and the second from 3pm to 5.30pm. The sessions for children with additional needs will run from 11am to noon. Sessions cost 50p per child and tickets must be bought in advance. Purchases can be made here or, for additional needs sessions, here. A full list of event dates and locations can be found on the same web pages. Breeze In The Park is funded with the generous support of the council’s network of local community committees. |
