History

Established in 1997.

It’s been well over a decade since the Leeds Guide was launched as a monthly, black and white A5 listings magazine, and in that time a lot has changed in Leeds. We’ve seen our city grow and bloom, our bars, shops and restaurants are well-​known across the country, and Leeds has become a real destination.

Leeds Guide has also changed a lot in its time. The magazine is now an A4 fortnightly, full colour paid-​for magazine, found in most newsagents and supermarkets across Leeds and is the longest running magazine in the city, as well as the only general interest Leeds-​specific paid for title.
