On 13 July 2026, Leeds marks an extraordinary milestone - 400 years since receiving its first Royal Charter from King Charles I. This historic moment set Leeds on its path to self-governance and city status, shaping the vibrant, diverse city we know today.
We will be celebrating on Yorkshire Day showcasing dances from this era and actively encourage audience participation! All you need is comfortable shoes and enthusiasm!
