Young people in West Leeds can look forward to a summer of outdoor fun as the annual Breeze In The Park entertainment extravaganza celebrates a special milestone.
Organised by Leeds City Council, the roadshow-style programme will see more than 25 interactive play days for children and teenagers taking place in various parks and green spaces over the next five weeks.
Each day’s attendees will be able to enjoy an array of activities, featuring everything from sports and games to art and music – and Breeze’s giant inflatables.
West Leeds dates include:
| Fri, 26 July 2024 | Queens Park, Pudsey, LS28 7FB |
| Mon, 29 July 2024 | Armley Park, Stanningley Rd, Leeds LS12 3LW |

Organisations including Zero Waste Leeds, Leeds Young Film and Leeds Libraries will also be running a range of taster workshops and hands-on experiences.
Events in Wortley and Kirkstall will include relaxed and quieter sessions for children with additional needs.
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles and culture, said: “So many young people have enjoyed Breeze get-togethers in our wonderful parks and green spaces since 2004, with the programme’s continued focus on fun, inclusivity and value-for-money reflecting our determination to ensure Leeds is the best city in the country to grow up in.
“It’s lovely to think that some parents bringing their own families to this summer’s events will once have attended as children themselves and are now set to make a whole host of magical new memories.”
Each day will have two main sessions, one running from noon to 2.30pm and the second from 3pm to 5.30pm. The sessions for children with additional needs will run from 11am to noon.
Sessions cost 50p per child and tickets must be bought in advance. Purchases can be made here or, for additional needs sessions, here. A full list of event dates and locations can be found on the same web pages.
Breeze In The Park is funded with the generous support of the council’s network of local community committees.
Breeze Pass holders get fast-track access to some of the most popular inflatable attractions. Please note, pass holders must still purchase tickets in advance.
