 Leeds First Friday takes place in the heart of Leeds on the first Friday of every month. It’s a big, lively, properly social day and night for the entire trans community, plus partners, friends and allies. Alongside the wider night across the Freedom Quarter, we also host our own LFF events throughout the day and evening. Things kick off with Pints N Straws, our taproom tour from 2 to 6pm. A gentle warm up, good beer, good chat, zero pressure. From 7pm, The LFF Big Meetup takes over Bridge End Social. This is the main gathering point and the easiest place to find familiar faces and new ones. At the same time, Made It!, our dedicated newcomer meet, runs from 7 to 8pm at The Bridge Bar. It’s smaller, calmer, and designed for first timers who want a softer landing. Later on, Cocktails at 9 heads to Farrands Bar from 9pm for those who fancy something a little more polished. Booking is required for this one with Lucy Hutchinson, because its popular and places remain stubbornly finite. Beyond that, the night unfolds as you want it to. We drift between bars and clubs across the Freedom Quarter, with no fixed route and no expectations. You choose where you go, who you’re with, and when you call it a night. That freedom is kind of the point. Safety matters to us, quietly and properly. On the night, support is available through Angels of Freedom, the Night Safe Space Bus, Ask For Angela schemes, West Yorkshire Police partnerships, and spiking prevention initiatives. You do not need to memorise any of this. All the details are clearly laid out in our app at leedsfirstfriday.com/app, so help is there if you need it and politely invisible if you do not. And because we like a proper ending, we regroup the next morning. Breakfast at Bridge End Social runs from 10am on Saturday. A calm debrief, carbs, caffeine, and the soft realisation that you definitely said you were going home earlier. To book, message Marta at Bridge End Social or email marta@bridgeendsocial.co.uk. LFF isn’t about being stuck in one venue. It’s about bumping into people, reappearing hours later, and feeling part of the city rather than tucked away from it. You’ll mix with the wonderful chaos of Leeds and yes, you’ll feel visible. In a good way. First time? You’re absolutely not on your own. We have a big, friendly team who know exactly how daunting this can feel and exactly how quickly it usually stops feeling that way. If you want to chat beforehand, meet someone on arrival, be gently introduced to others, or just ask what on earth is going on, we’ve got you. Leeds First Friday is now the biggest monthly trans and non binary social night in the UK. More importantly, it’s one of the friendliest. A genuinely safe, relaxed place to take your first steps or your hundredth. It's our 18th birthday year and LFF is still going strong and shows no signs of calming down. Come along. Meet people. Make friends. Enjoy yourself. Fair warning. Once you come, you tend to keep coming. 🏳️⚧️🥰 |

LFF combined with Leeds pride was a fantastic event. The combination of the string of meets and LFF organised events combined with the assembly of so many girls and the addition of Leeds pride created a fun weekend from Friday through to Monday. A big thank you to all the LFF team for a very special weekend. |

As always, it was a fabulous evening/night. Lots of new peeps as well as the many regulars. If you have recently started to attend, can I recommend that you branch out away from the usual four or five venues (at least in the early part of the evening) and explore the long list of welcoming and accepting bars, pubs and restaurants. If attending for the first time, do get along to "Made It" where other newcomers meet for about an hour away from the very busy Bridge End Social. If you are on your own but not a first timer, just speak to someone. Compliment their dress, makeup whatever. You won't be on your own for long! |
