Morning all! @Double0690 is here to remind you that it's 🦉 Main Meet day! Join us at Lazy Lounge / Leeds Postal Service (LS1 4JY) from 12:00 to 17:00. We're forecast sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, with a high of 23°C, so the fursuit walk should be going ahead and starting around 14:30. Remember you must be 18+ to attend the meet and the venue may check ID. External food and drink is not allowed to be consumed at our venues. This includes the seating areas outside. Parking? NCP Leeds Wellington Place (LS1 4AJ) is just £5 a day at weekends. ✂️ BloodyMaw Fursuits + Sparks Den 📸 @InfernalXantin

Evening all. Apologies for the tardiness but I'm currently the wrong side of the Pennines and forgot to schedule the post. We're a week away from our next 🦉 Main Meet. (And two weeks away from the YorkshireFurs Summer Party.) Join us at Lazy Lounge / Leeds Postal Service between 1200 and 1700 on Saturday 15th August.

Just want to say thank you to all the folks that turned up to the Coffee Meet yesterday, despite the issues with the venue. It was one of our most popular in a long while, so thanks for coming out and showing your support. Hope to see at our Main Meet & next month's Coffee Meet @ Flamingos - the last minute cancellation was a one-time thing, and our bookings till the end of the year are unaffected.

Morning all. Still to come this month we have the regular 🦉 Main Meet at Lazy Lounge/Leeds Postal Service between 1200 and 1700 on Saturday 15th August. A week later, on Saturday 22nd August, we're taking the Highway to Hull for the YorkshireFurs Summer Party. That runs from 1300 to 2300 at Federation of Sport. More info and tickets at https://yorkshirefurs.org.uk/

If you're looking for the CoffeeMeet group in Trinity Kitchen, we're to the right of Archie's on the long table.

UPDATE: CoffeeMeet Change of Venue Due to a last minute cancellation by the venue, our CoffeeMeet will not take place at Flamingos tonight. Given the short notice, we have decided to host an informal CoffeeMeet taking place at Trinity Kitchen from 17:30 till late. We're sorry for the inconvenience. If you wish to suggest an alternative venue for consideration in the future, please message @LeedsFursSupportBot.

Our next ☕️ Coffee Meet is a week away on Tuesday 4th August between 1730 and 1930 at Pride Place @ Flamingos in Central Arcade.

And now for a word from our Friends at YorkshireFurs!

Hi Lovely Leedsfurs! As a community group that supports art, artists, writers and creators of all kinds our policy is very clearly against GenAI (its in our chat rules!) On that same topic thought I should maybe bring your awareness to a Microsoft proposed plan to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but it needs more voices. Want to object?

In the meantime, we want to hear your feedback so we can improve the meets going forwards!

Morning beans! It's 🏳‍🌈 Leeds Pride 🏳‍🌈 day and we've got a walking float in the parade. It's too late to join the group, but you can still be a spectator. The parade starts outside the Town Hall at 12:30 and runs along The Headrow, Vicar Lane, New York Street and Kirkgate to finish at The Calls. New York Street tends to be the least busy area. If you're travelling by 🚌 bus today, note that road closures are in place for the Parade and Festival. Check https://wymetro.com/plan-a-journey/travel-news/bus-travel-alerts/leedspride2026/ for details. We will be cutting our parade short at the Lamb and Flag, so feel free to meet us there too! See you there!

The Gents toilet in Lazy Lounge is out of order. 😢 Leeds Postal Service has two gender neutral toilets that you can use instead.
