Yorkshire Day – 1 August 2026

Yorkshire Day, celebrated every year on 1 August, is a chance to recognise everything that makes the county such a special place to live, work and visit. From its proud heritage and distinctive character to its thriving towns, cities and communities, Yorkshire has plenty worth celebrating.

Leeds plays a major part in that story. As one of the region’s most vibrant cities, it combines a strong industrial past with a modern economy, a lively cultural scene and a growing reputation as a great place to do business. Beyond the city centre, East Leeds has its own identity, bringing together established neighbourhoods, green spaces, historic attractions and major employment and leisure destinations.

Thorpe Park Leeds and The Springs are a key part of this area. Thorpe Park Leeds is home to a wide range of businesses, while The Springs provides a convenient destination for shopping, dining, leisure and entertainment. Together, they help make East Leeds a place where people can work, meet, relax and spend time locally.

Yorkshire Day is also a good opportunity to explore more of the area. Whether that means enjoying a walk around your local area, discovering local parks and walking routes, visiting independent businesses or meeting friends for food and entertainment at The Springs, there are plenty of ways to celebrate close to home.

For those working at or visiting Thorpe Park Leeds, Yorkshire Day is a reminder of the strong community that exists across East Leeds. It is a chance to support local businesses, enjoy the surrounding area and take pride in being part of Yorkshire.
