  1. My boyfriend currently lives in Brighton (a very cool city), but I’m trying to persuade him to move up to Leeds (some would say an even cooler city). I often buy Leeds Guide to read on the train to see him, and show him the best bits when I arrive. Every time he gives agreeable noises and I can feel him getting a little bit closer to making the best decision to move. Please let me win this prize. Armed with a new set of amazing facts about Leeds; its bars, restaurants, events, gigs and all round guide to having a good time, every fortnight, I know that the best decision of his life will be just around the corner! And when I have him here full-time, I promise to subscribe to Leeds Guide to keep us both up-to-date with what the city has to offer.
    Thanks for reading!

  2. I currently live in Leeds with my wife and 4 month old daughter but would like to move back home. I can’t do so at the moment due to family commitments on my wife’s side. I’ve also found myself in a dead end job. Being stuck here it would be good to know about what’s going on in the city and maybe be inspired to break out and add something to the creative life of the city.

    I also never get any interesting post. I’d like a fortnightly smile.

  4. Culture Vulture and The Leeds Guide have literally changed the way I see Leeds. It’s so amazing having such a comprehensive guide at my finger tips. My other half is from Skipton but he’s not really ‘down with the kidz’. If I won I’d be able to keep my finger firmly on the pulse.

  5. The Leeds Guide keeps me buzzing ! It is the only all singing, all dancing guide for Leeds. It is such a with it Guide !! Life would be so dull without it, please let me be the winner !! Thanks, Joanne

  6. I have to say that Ceri’s story about her boyfriend in Brighton certainly tweaks at my heartstrings but I thought I’d drop a wee line into you guys anyway.

    I think the work that Emma et al @ the culture vulture and Tom et al at Leeds Guide do for this city is sterling! It stokes up the fire in the creative underbelly of the city.

    I’ve often been referred to as a “Walking PR Machine for Leeds and all things creative” acting as a free guide for tours of Cultural Leeds…so if I was to be lucky enough to win the subscription I would spread the word even further!

  7. Are you reading the same magasine as me? Leeds Guide is driven by inane stories about bar tenders and property devlopers, its the worst city mag I have ever read with bad journalism and little about the real issues in leeds, homelessness, street drinking, the useless bus service, lack of public space, a council who can’t run a 21st century city….. Please stop acting as though Leeds is some utopia and get a real perspective, leeds does some things well but needs to reconnect with the rest of the city and stop pretending it stops at Chapel Allerton and Headingley, go to seacroft or armley and ask them about bar tenders.

  8. Okay let’s face it. Leeds Guide is not the best magazine in the world but its a damn sight better than most local magazines and their website is pretty good.

    (Neil) I think you’re right there needs to be more lobbying by media to address the issues you have raised but to be fair to magazines like Leeds Guide, that’s not their remit and never has been.

    Newspapers like the YEP and it’s sister title the Weekly News and the blog are the home of this type of journalism – you wouldn’t expect cutting edge investigative journalism from the Radio Times would you?

  9. I have seen many mags similar to leeds guide that have good journalism and also campaigns on local issues rather than being simple style guides.

    As for there remit, they lay that out themselves and are only defined by what they consider topical and interesting, so I am sure the readers of leeds guide want more than fluff.
    The advertisers pay the piper, but the mag lacks ambition and bite.

    Look at the list in Glasgow/Edinburgh they cover social issues in greater depth and have well written articles, instead of articles about how great it is to live in a new development in leeds centre.

    As for the YP and the YEP?? When did they ever cover anything of real worth, it allways was a tory sheet and still is as far as I can see, the lack of ambition at Leeds Guide says alot about the complacency of regional cities.

  10. Hi Neil, I’m the editor of Leeds Guide, and I’ve read your thoughts with interest. I don’t want to get in to arguing any points with you, but I’d be keen to discuss them via email if you’d be interested? You can contact me at [email protected]
