Burberry and Leeds will celebrate a year of culture and community. Burberry is a British luxury brand that aims at strengthening the connection with British design, craft and culture.

Leeds is a city in England. Burberry is intrinsically linked to the textile and manufacturing heritage of Leeds. Leeds 2023 will spotlight how creativity and greater access to cultural experiences can open opportunities for all. The landmark year will be punctuated by twelve major signature projects and include hundreds of events and activities where communities, companies and a host of volunteers will come together in an inclusive city-wide celebration.

As part of the partnership, Burberry will support a number of creative learning initiatives. Supporting creative education is a natural continuation of the brand’s ongoing partnership with schools aimed at empowering young people to immerse themselves in the arts and uncover their creative potential and help inspire a new generation of home-grown creative thinkers and engineers.

Supported by more than forty Burberry volunteers, Part One of the Leeds 2023 program will begin with an event called The Awakening on January 7. It will feature renowned acts from the world of music, poetry, dance, comedy and more.
