Canal Mills is an 18th century textile mill in the heart of Leeds, which re-opened in 2012 as a creative art, food and music events space with a maximum capacity of 1600 people. The venue was brought back to its former glory after a refurbishment project; all the walls have been sand blasted to expose the beautiful red/gold Victorian brick work and you can now see the venue’s heritage throughout the space with high ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork, making it a truly charismatic and flexible venue, capable of hosting a wide range of events.
Since its inception Canal Mills has acted as one of Leeds’ best creative and cultural hubs; hosting some of the top live acts in the world, a popular monthly street market event and an annual craft beer festival amongst many other things.
