It’s never too soon to talk Christmas! 🎄

Our ‘Santa’s helpers’ have been out and about in Leeds recently, spreading festive cheer and sharing a sneak peek of the exclusive early-bird offers for this year’s celebration. Christmas may be months away, but here at the Royal Armouries Conferences and Events, festive planning is already in full swing!

This year, we’re going BIG with two unforgettable party themes:

UKREiiF is in full swing!

After an incredible opening day- welcoming over 16,000 attendees, packed-out panels, and brilliant conversations throughout the venue - it’s great to see that energy continuing today.

We love seeing our spaces come to life in so many different ways during UKREiiF - from keynote sessions and exhibitor zones to breakout chats and informal catch-ups. It really highlights the versatility of the venue and the buzz that large-scale events like this bring.

It’s not just the Royal Armouries that’s been busy - the whole city has a real sense of activity this week. From fringe events like drinks receptions to morning yoga, it’s great to see so much happening around Leeds. We’re proud to be part of it and to highlight what our region has to offer.

Here’s to another great day ahead!
