In fact the rust coloured Broadcasting Place Tower beat Dubai’s Burj Khalifa to be voted best tall building in the world in 2010!

Leeds has a vibrant food and drink scene with everything from cafes and street food, to restaurants of pretty much every nationality. And there are also plenty of pubs too including the traditional alley pubs off Briggate. We also have a booming micro brewery scene with breweries such as Leeds Brewery and Northern Monk.

Anyone is welcome to join in, just bring your sketchbook and pencil, or whatever you choose to sketch with.
