Tips & Advice

  • Use the Cookridge Street address to plan your route to Leeds Cathedral, and allow extra time to arrive before the performance.
  • Dress comfortably for an indoor classical concert, with a warm layer for the winter journey to and from the cathedral.
  • Read through the six-work programme beforehand so you can recognize Vivaldi, Corelli, Pachelbel and the other composers during the performance.
  • Set aside around 1 hour 45 minutes for the concert, based on its listed 7:30–9:15 p.m. running time.
