Town Hall

A stunning hybrid of classical Greek and baroque styles, this mid 19th-century public building is perhaps Leeds' most well-known landmark. Built by Charles Broderick between 1853 and 1858, it features a facade of giant columns supporting an elaborate domed tower. The richly decorated interior is equally spectacular, with statues by Matthew Noble sitting beneath ornate plaster ceilings. As well as being of great historical and architectural interest, the Town Hall is one of the city's premier music venues, hosting events including Lunchtime Organ Music and the International Concert Season.

City Varieties

Originally home to the White Swan Pub in the 18th Century, The City Varieties became a music hall in 1865 and remains one of the few and best-maintained in Britain even today. In its heyday, performers such as Houdini and a pre-fame Charlie Chaplin graced its dais; though today Ken Dodd and Joe Pasquale are more likely candidates. However City Varieties organizes a wide range of entertainment including cabaret, opera, musicals and, notably, it's a major venue in the city for stand-up comedians.
