 JOIN US FOR THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY LEEDS PRIDE WEEKENDER!🌈🏳️⚧️ 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. 🏳️⚧️🥰 |

Love LFF and attend as often as possible. Made so many fabulous friends there who are a big part of my life. I always start the night downstairs in The Bridge End and mostly I finish it in Viaduct because the atmosphere is amazing plus I like to swing my ass on the dancefloor. All the venues are so wonderfully friendly that I always feel welcome and safe. The whole event is an amazing credit to the organisers. I have stayed in many hotels such as The Briggate and of course Travelodge but prices vary wildly throughout the year so a single regular one is not really an option. Of course the party always continues back in my room ( wink wink ). Unfortunately I am unable to attend July with incredibly high hotel prices for that one but got my bookings in for August and September so see you there... |

Usual good night out in Leeds having a good chat with one of the original LFF founders . Introduced Dean to Whitelocks for a change at a non scene venue . Grove Inn first before Head of Steam then Whitelocks followed by Smokestack then Bridge Social . Cindy was off to Farrands for the cocktails meet up at 9 so I might try that in future . Finished up at Indigo the old Cosmo where we all used to hang out. More upmarket now lol. For your first time out it still has to be LFF .

Only my second ever visit to LFF, a bit quieter than the first but still busy. No complaints, nice buzz to the venues and everyone very friendly. A bit pricey in some places but that's to be expected I suppose. One bit of advice though, do not come alone unless you have arranged to meet others when you get there as it's very cliquey and the various groups tend to keep to themselves. |

Wow, what a night! My first LFF was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I honestly don't know why I waited so long to attend. One thing is for certain though: this definitely won't be my last LFF. I'll be back, and hopefully very, very soon! |
