The Victorian Corn Exchange in Leeds

THE TETLEY
1
It’s worth the trip alone to glimpse the 1930s Tetley’s brewery offices this contemporary art gallery is housed in. Have a nosy at the old boardroom and the wrought-iron lift shaft, then browse the modern art exhibitions displayed in the wood-panelled offices. After, grab a pint at the bar, then head out to the patio for a game of boules (thetetley.org; Hunslet Rd; 11am– 6pm Mon–Sat, to 4pm Sun; free).
SHEARS YARD
2
One of a handful of restaurants striving to put seasonal and local food at the heart of their menus, Shears Yard is a sophisticated bar-and-kitchen with a laid-back atmosphere. The food offers inventive twists on honest Northern grub, and dishes are light, meaning you’ll still feel like hitting Leeds’ excellent pubs after eating here (shearsyard.com; lunch Sat–Sun & dinner Tue–Sat; 11-15 Wharf St; mains from £12).
