What to do in Leeds: May and June 2021

I have been visiting Leeds my whole life and even attended school in North Yorkshire for 6 years. Therefore, I thought it would be nice to share some fun events that are coming up in May and June that can show a bit more of what the city of Leeds has to offer.
