Hunslet Carr Residents Association and Hunslet Carr Primary School invite you the lights switch on at Welcome to Hunslet Carr Square (junction of Balm Road and Moor Road) on Thursday 24 November. The School choir will sing carols from 5pm with the lights switched on at 5:30pm.
Beeston
Join the Salvation Army band to sing carols from 6pm outside Nisa (formerly the Co-op) on Town Street on Thursday 24 November. The lights will be switched on at 6:15pm followed by refreshments (hot dog or burger) at Beeston Parish Centre.

Whilst you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper – up 50% so far this year.
