WE ARE VERY SORRY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT DUE TO MAJOR BUILDING WORK, THE VENUE (LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL) HAS BECOME UNAVAILABLE FOR OUR USE THIS YEAR, SO WE ARE HAVING TO CANCEL SPRING INTO WOOL 2024.




Travel Information

The Grammar School at Leeds is on the main A61 road between Leeds and Harrogate. It's about 5 miles north of Leeds city centre, and about 10 miles south of Harrogate. We've given you some travel advice on this page to help you get there.

If you're coming by car then there's free parking for hundreds of cars just next to the entrance to our show.


Vehicle Sharing

Interested in a more eco-friendly journey that could save you some money? Then our Vehicle Sharing page is just for you!

It's a kind of dating agency to help you make contact with other people who'd like to share a journey, whether by car, taxi, minibus or coach.

Please visit our VEHICLE SHARING message board to view messages left by other people or to add a message of your own.


Travelling by Public Transport

If you're travelling by train or coach, you're best to get off at Leeds or Harrogate. From there you can catch the number 36 bus which runs between Leeds and Harrogate. The number 36 runs every 15 mins on a Saturday, and every 20 mins on a Sunday (click here to see the bus timetable). The journey takes about 20 minutes from Leeds city centre, and about 25 minutes from Harrogate.

The bus stop you need is Alwoodley Gates. Our show is a 10-15 minutes walk from there, in the direction of Harrogate (towards the countryside).

Rather than get a bus from Leeds city centre, maybe you'd like to share a taxi from the train station. If you'd like to find people to share with, please visit our Vehicle Sharing page.


Travelling by Road

If you have a Sat Nav, please use LS17 8GS.
