Roundhay Park is a major public park and outdoor events destination in north-east Leeds, covering more than 700 acres of rolling parkland. We are managed by Leeds City Council and combine extensive open grassland, woodland, two lakes, formal and specialist gardens, sports facilities, cafés, playgrounds and the Tropical World visitor attraction. Our scale and variety make us substantially different from conventional indoor conference and event venues. We have a long history of hosting significant public events. Leeds City Council specifically identifies outdoor concerts and triathlons among the events held at Roundhay, while the council's licensing policy recognises us as a location for community gatherings, fairs, carnivals and occasional major events. Our landscape provides several potential event environments, including large open fields, lakeside areas, gardens and areas around The Mansion. We also have four principal car-parking areas, accessible routes and facilities including cafés and toilets. We are particularly appropriate for large outdoor concerts, festivals, sporting events, charity runs, community celebrations, cultural events, fairs, markets and experiential events. Major-event use is subject to council approval, event planning, licensing and site-specific safety arrangements. In 2026, we hosted the inaugural Roundhay Festival, demonstrating our ability to support very large-scale outdoor music programming.
The Mansion is the park's principal historic built landmark. The Grade II listed building dates from the early nineteenth century and overlooks Upper Lake. It is currently operated as a hospitality venue and provides an important focal point within the park. The surrounding lawns and parkland create an attractive environment for receptions, photography, hospitality and smaller private functions.
Positioned on the edge of Waterloo Lake, The Lakeside Café offers a relaxed backdrop for private evening hires. The space transitions seamlessly from a daytime restaurant into a vibrant twilight event venue. It is ideal for intimate birthday parties, drinks receptions, and casual wedding celebrations with stunning views across the water.
The park's vast open-air arena and parklands host major outdoor community gatherings, sporting events, and cultural exhibitions. Boasting a massive event capacity of nearly 70,000 people, this space serves as a premier UK location for headline concert series like the annual Roundhay Festival and the local North Leeds Food Festival.
