Join us on Sunday 10th September 12- 5pm for Family Day to celebrate the end of summer at Kirkstall Abbey. There will be Street Food, soft drinks and a full programme of activities for children and young people including:
Mini Gig with Leeds band Lucky Iris will be joining Made by Music on stage.
Lucky Iris are an alt-pop duo, made up of Maeve and Jasper, based in Leeds. With their lyrics described as a ‘cotton-candy kick in the face’, they write songs for you to dance or cry to, depending on your mood. This summer Lucky Iris are set to release their new EP ‘maybe i’m too much’, their latest expression of their lessons learnt in love and friendships. With notable hyper-pop influences and a long-lasting love for British indie music, they are excited to share their most developed sound yet. Lucky Iris | Facebook
