Drag, LGBTQ+ nights and events in Leeds

What's on in Leeds's Freedom Quarter: drag and cabaret, the regular weekly nights, and dated events from now into 2027.

The best nights to go

Viaduct Showbar runs something every night, with its main choreographed drag shows on Friday and Saturday. Late licences mean the quarter keeps going into the early hours at weekends, with Viaduct, Bar Fibre and The New Penny open past 3am. Saturday has long been the big night, and Queens Court and Bar Fibre team up for summer bank holiday courtyard parties.
