New Members Afternoon

Trinity Kitchen is hosting a New Members Afternoon on Saturday 24 October, starting at 14:00. It's run by the venue itself, which is a new member of the Leeds community, and the whole thing is built around the idea that most new members turn up on their own. The brief is simple: meet fellow new and returning members over drinks and street food, with no obligation to buy food.

If you're new to the city or just looking to get out and meet a few people, it's a low-pressure way to do it. You don't have to bring anyone along, and you don't have to commit to a full meal — just showing up for a drink and a chat is enough. If you do want to bring a few friends, you can add up to five guests to your RSVP.

It helps to know where you're heading. Trinity Kitchen is an upmarket, strictly casual-dining food court on the upper levels of Trinity Leeds, on Albion Street. It's home to permanent stands alongside a rotating set of food vans that bring something new to the menu every few weeks, so there's plenty to choose from if you do decide to eat. Entry is free, and you book your place via meetup.com.
