What To Expect…

Your ticket will give you access to Millennium Square – details on how to get your ticket/access will be shared post purchase.

The venue, for those that don’t know is, is a large outdoor space opposite the beautifully designed Leeds Civic Hall where the City Council are based. Used for large scale events this space will be taken over by UKREiiF with a huge cover to avoid any issues come rain or shine.

What is there to do within the walls of the UKREiiF Festival of Achievement?

  • Music Entertainment
  • Fairground Rides – including a Carousel and a Ferris Wheel!
  • Fairground Games – including Hoopla, Coconut Shy and more!
  • Pop-Up Food/Drinks Stalls – pizza and Mexican to fish and chips and dirty donuts with a food voucher coming with your ticket to attend the event, letting you choose on the day.
