Howard Assembly Room

As part of our Music Works redevelopment project, the Howard Assembly Room is temporarily closing its doors for a major refurbishment.

Over the last ten years, we have championed the finest artists from across the globe and hosted a wide array of film screenings, talks and performances. We look forward to reopening in 2020 with even more performances, our own bar and restaurant and a dedicated entrance, with a swish new atrium.

In the meantime, we will continue to commission performances across the country as well as in Leeds. Find out more about upcoming events below or catch up on The Lullaby Project featuring performances from some of the brilliant guests we have hosted. If you would like to keep up to date with everything that’s going on whilst we’re closed, sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The £18 million Music Works redevelopment will double the number of performances in the Howard Assembly Room, and give the venue a dedicated public entrance, with a beautiful glass atrium, direct stairs and lift access and improved front of house facilities.

We will bring more of the best global musicians and artists to Leeds each year, creating a diverse calendar of jazz, world music, folk, classical concerts, children’s opera, talks, film and installations.

• Double the number of performances in the Howard Assembly Room
