Director of New Citizens, Matt Long - the company behind The Garden Party - says: “We’re so excited to be back for our 16th year of The Garden Party Leeds. Our reopening last year after lockdown was a huge hit and the welcome back we all needed. It seemed like it was going to be hard to top, but this year we’ve gone even bigger and better event.
"One weekend, a brand new never before used city centre venue, and the biggest line up we've ever produced.”
