What is planned for Leeds 400? 

The programme is expected to include exhibitions, events and co-curation with communities. Large scale events throughout the year will be part of the celebrations as well as smaller grass roots cultural and community events. Details will be announced throughout the year.

There are seven key themes as follows:

Sport 
Heritage 
Culture 
Learning 
Communities 
Innovation 
Future

The outcomes we would like to achieve as a city through a #TeamLeeds approach are:

Leeds Together: A city-wide celebration of organisations, events, activities, communities and businesses to showcase the city’s unique identity and create positive change for the future

Empowering People: in cultural, sporting, education and creative activities that celebrate the past and ensure a legacy for future generations

Enhancing Health and Wellbeing: creating connections, involving people and showcasing talent using culture, heritage and sport to improve physical and mental health and wellbeing 

Driving Growth: attracting investment, tourism and families to create new opportunities for businesses and individuals

Showcasing Leeds: as a vibrant, inclusive, culturally rich, attractive city where everyone can create positive change for the future.
