Heart Centre in Headingley (Leeds) is getting festive by welcoming in some of the best local artists and makers for a Winter art and craft fair. Throughout the day there will be stalls, craft workshops and a steady supply of mulled wine and mince pies. It’s a great way to pick up some bespoke Christmas presents, support local artists and get thoroughly into the festive mood.

After the market Heart are hosting their annual winter ceilidh. While the dancers are stripping the willow and dosey doe-ing their way round the main room, Bandiera Rossa, one of Leeds’ favourite ceilidh bands will be filling the arts centre with warm folky noises.
