Our Story

10 years of bringing Leeds' digital community together.

It started in 2016 as a handful of friends in a Leeds pub. A decade later, Leeds Digital Drinks has grown into meetups, Founders evenings, Startup Weekends and conferences: a warm, grassroots home for the city's tech, startup and creative scene. Still volunteer-run. Still on us.
