Erm, can I just say that Leeds is possibly the best place to be on New Years Eve. If you can't find a party for New Years Eve in Leeds clubs that suits you then you're a tough audience. Love Leeds New Years Eve Special at Victoria Works  is one party for New Years Eve in Leeds clubs which looks like it's going to sell out fast. With the likes of Kissdafunk and Hed Kandi it's no wonder all the early bird special tickets have gone. And if you manage to make it through till midnight and have the energy to keep going there's an after-party at Club …

The Twilight Phenomenon: Be afraid. Be very afraid. (But not of the vampires.)
If you've spent any time on the internet at all recently, you're probably aware of the imminent arrival of Twilight, based on the cult "vamp lit" novels by Stephenie Meyer. Essentially, the film is about a teenage girl (Kristen Stewart) who …

Spent Christmas and new year huddled over a board game, retaining a vice-like grip on the rules and a hawk-eye on the family cheat? Well, that sort of commitment and skill could come in handy for the Leeds Met Monopoly Challenge which is being hosted throughout February and Easter.

In case you didn't get one for Christmas, a Leeds version of the popular board game has been released (finally) and in aid of that, and for charity, the Leeds Met Monopoly Challenge has been launched. It aims to get 8,000 Loiners playing Monopoly. It's hoped the quirky challenge will raise £250,000 for the community.

Met students, bless 'em, are taking time out of their study (and the Otley Run) to get as many people signed up to the Leeds Met Monopoly Challenge …

Is the credit crunch making you dread New Years Eve? It's an expensive time of year and it can feel like a gamble. After all, it's suppose to be the biggest party of the year but I've had a few New Year celebrations where I've found myself queueing for my coat and wondering - was that it?

But don't just think you can head out the door on Wednesday, December 31 with a vague idea of where to go. No, there's a lot going on. Don't believe me?
Well, …

Some of my best New Year celebrations have been spent with friends in restaurants. And after last year's efforts, which involved me and my group staggering about looking for a bar that was still open, maybe this year I should learn my lesson and plan a sophisticated New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants. 
After all, it needn't be boring with the amount of events being held on New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants. 

For a complete blow-out you could head to Bibis which has a six-piece swing band playing the likes of Billy Joel and The …
