This session is free, just please makesure you book a ticket. All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
This project is part of the Seasons of Culture Programme funded by West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Leeds City Council through the Leeds Cultural Investment Programme.

Getting to site

Please be aware that there is currently a security cabin and gate about halfway along Skelton Grange Road. This is for the waste-to-energy site next door to the Environment Centre.

If you travel by car they will probably note the vehicle registration, ask for the driver’s name and where you are going (tell them TCV). It is simply to keep track of traffic entering and leaving. If you are walking down you can go straight past. Essentially, don’t be worried when you see it, you are going to the right place!
