Light for Leeds | Leeds Humanists

Join us in the Abbey Visitor Centre as we celebrate what we all have in common.  Expect music, contemplation, and representatives of a range of beliefs and none, including Leeds Humanists, as we mark the end of 2026's Interfaith Week.  You'll have a chance to chat with the stallholders present, and we'd love to see you.  We might even have cake! 

The event is free to enter, and you are welcome to drop in anytime between 12 pm and 4 pm.  The day concludes with a short walk to the Chapter House in Kirkstall Abbey as outside light fades.
