From summer BBQs and store openings to courtyard parties and christenings — a brilliant weekend of music, community and celebration with Ellesse 25. Feel‑good moments across Leeds, Kippax & Sherburn‑in‑Elmet.

Friday: Highfield Care Home Summer BBQ
The weekend began with pure sunshine energy at Highfield Care Home. Their Summer BBQ brought together residents, families and staff for an afternoon filled with smiles, dancing and warm community spirit. A beautiful reminder of how powerful music can be in lifting hearts and creating connection.
Saturday Morning: The Fragrance Shop Opening — Trinity Leeds
Next stop: the buzzing centre of Leeds for the grand opening of The Fragrance Shop at Trinity. Shoppers, staff and passers‑by brought incredible energy, and the soundtrack kept the atmosphere vibrant from start to finish. Supporting local businesses as they open their doors is always a privilege.
Saturday Evening: Courtyard Party at The White Swan, Kippax
From city vibes to village celebrations — the Courtyard Party at The White Swan was absolutely brilliant. A pre‑World Cup quarter‑final gathering with sunshine, great people and a crowd ready to enjoy every moment. These are the events that truly show how music brings communities together.
Sunday: Baby Arlie’s Christening — Sherburn‑in‑Elmet
The weekend finished with something truly special: celebrating baby Arlie’s christening surrounded by family, friends and so much love. A gorgeous day full of joy, laughter and heartfelt moments — the perfect way to close out a busy, uplifting weekend.
A Weekend to Remember
From care homes to city celebrations, courtyard parties to family milestones — this weekend had everything. Good people, good energy and good times. Definitely one for the books… and definitely one that topped up the feel‑good bucket.
