Really good night at LFF on the 3rd. Viaduct are definitely stepping up to the plate as the Venus for the event. Good drinks pricing and much more seating both inside and out. Personally I think an initial period of calm in the venue to allow easy conversation for friends to catch up or to say Hi to new friends would be nice with plenty of time for all the usual that Viaduct has to offer a little later. Otherwise I would say an improvement on the Marriott !!!! Well done Viaduct !!!! |

A funny sort of an evening. Started well with dinner in Viva with Alana who went home after a drink in Malmaison. Meal was good in Viva and a lot better than several years ago. Bar at Malmaison deserted and only one couple in the restaurant. Decided to hang about so went to Smokestack and handed a complimentary glass of sauvignon before sitting at the downstairs bar with Margo and Kaye attending her first LFF. We then went to the Bridge which was very busy with T girls none of whom I knew apart from Jenny Bingham . Thought about the Penny but couldn't be arsed to pay the £2 entry so suggested Popworld instead. Big mistake - £5 entry. Promptly left there and decided to call it a day. Didn't bother with Fibre, Viaduct or Blayds. Someone said the refurb at Fibre appears to be confined to the ground floor. LFF has certainly changed. Smokestack remains lovely but as for the rest I'm not so sure but Kaye enjoyed it certainly so as everyone knows LFF is great for a first night out .

As always, LFF is a fantastic event. I generally (read always) go on my own but see people I have got to know over the time I have been going. This month saw a new start venue. Almost one year ago there was a new start venue at the Marriott. THEnumber of moans that it wasn't the same as the old ("tired") Cosmopolitan. Too damn right it wasn't. The Marriott was tons better. Now the moans are "the Viaduct is not the same as the Marriott". No it is not. But give it chance. I am sure the organisers of LFF have tweaks up their sleeves. However, IF you know of somewhere better that can accommodate everyone and is not too far for nervous newbies to walk from their hotels please let the organisers know about it. I'm sure they spent months looking but might have just overlooked a gem. |

My 52nd LFF and first time starting at its new home, the Viaduct due to Marriott hotel bar being converted. Viaduct not quite the same as the hotel start but Im sure we will get used to it in time. LFF is always an amazing night out, highly recommend to anyone wanting to get out for the first time. Gemma |

A new year and a new starting point for LFF. A shift from our historical hotel base, Cosmo and then the Marriott, to the Viaduct bar/club. So a different vibe and of course somewhere most of us have simply known as a bar/club rather than meeting point. Think we’ll need time to bed in and get used to that new feel, and how to make it our early evening home. As ever a great night out across the Freedom Quarter and the venues under the LFF banner. That’s a strength of LFF it’s a night out in more than one place, finding the venues you like, finding old and new friends as you move about. Jan was quiet in comparison to other months, always is at the start of the year. Yet I still didn’t get back to my hotel until after 5am 🤷🏻♀️😆 |

As usual had a great time. The Viaduct has always been a good venue and the staff are friendly, fab and they reminded me about Happy Hour! So that's a double bonus....... literally............ |

The new venue to meet Viaduct was very different to the Cosmo and Marriott. It felt quite cramped at the end where we were sat and a bit segregated. The event is fantastic but didn't feel like it has before and it's a shame. It must be hard to replace the Cosmo but the Viaduct is very different and last night's event was quiet so where do we all go when it's a busier evening? The toilets also leave a fair bit to be desired?! We ended up having a fabulous nights once we had found friends that were scattered all over and went to Blayds and The Bridge we're it was easier to mingle with other girls. My review is for the meet up point not the venue or the hole evening because lff is amazing |

On a personal note it was a slow burner but it was Jan after all, but by, didi it get going weird feeling being in Viaduct so early as i am used to being there later on when there is a younger crowd and bouncier music. Thee place to be at the Mo is Smokestack and cannot be faulted, staff are great, just lots of people having fun, nice vibe. Many thanks to those who co-ordinate, make all the calls, do the running around as it is appreciated by not only myself but everybody else. |

Was in Leeds for the night but didn't do LFF as such . Went to the Head of Steam in the afternoon for a couple of Belgian beers before changing into something more daring for Smokestack. Then changed again for dinner at Ambiente. Everywhere seemed very quiet and we only saw one T girl and that was in Travelodge but hardly surprising after the spending binge over Christmas. Hope Viaduct was a success but we did note Fibre was closed for a refurb. From what I could see they are really pulling the place apart !! It seemed fine to me as it was . I expect things will get busier as Easter approaches.

OMG leeds has turned into Blackpool lol But lots of us loooove Blackpool... yes the table was sticky and alcohol came in plastic beakers lol but the drinks were cheap in Viaduct... in fact we should have stayed there longer and maxed out the happy hours.... fibre is closed at the minute... I still mourn for Cosmo... smokestack same as always.... I had a good evening and Im sure others did, which in the end is all that matters!
