About The Church Leeds

The Church Leeds is a flexible event space housed in a Grade II-listed former church at 177-179 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 3AR. Opening in 2016, it hosted early electronic and club events, with notable figures from Tokyo Industries and Back to Basics. While the venue ceased operations in May 2019 after Leeds University reclaimed the lease, the building remains a landmark with plans for future use. This page provides a comprehensive overview of the space, seating options, accessibility, parking, transport links, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan your visit or future event needs.

Even though The Church Leeds is no longer operating as an active venue, the location remains central to Leeds culture and the Woodhouse Lane area offers convenient access to hotels and dining. For current event planning, consider alternative spaces in central Leeds with similar flexible configurations and historical charm. If you’re organizing events locally, we can connect you with suitable venues and provide expert guidance to secure your preferred dates and spaces.
