Absolute Leeds

There is a wealth of nice glossy magazines out there for general consumption but there aren’t actually too many that focus on the city. Absolute Leeds is one such publication.
It’s pretty to look at too. I like shiny, pretty things and this fits the bill. The same people behind the Yorkshire Post are behind it and it covers a good guide to some of the action unfolding in the area. You’ll find plenty of features, ranging from local DJs to restaurant owners. The listings section also offers some suggestions for the upcoming month and as you’d expect the club listings let you know which hot spots to hit and when.
It also manages not to be too «local» and offers more than a smattering of fashion, celebrity talk and a look at the world at large. On the downside, it does have rather too many advertorials for my liking but they need to pay the bills somehow. It’s not the most in-​depth look at all things Leeds but it’s worth a few quid of your hard earned money from time to time.
