Who reads it
Mostly women in their twenties and thirties in Leeds, Liverpool and the wider north — people who want an honest steer on a restaurant, a show or a book before they spend their evening on it. The tone is warm, first-person and specific; it is not a deals blog.
What works well here
- Restaurant and bar openings in Leeds — soft launches especially, reviewed honestly and in full.
- Theatre — press tickets for Leeds and Edinburgh Fringe runs. Reviews are independent; a comped ticket never buys a good write-up.
- Books — proofs and ARCs, contemporary and thriller mostly.
- Travel — city breaks, particularly anything reachable on a long weekend from the north.
How it works
- Every gifted, comped or paid piece is labelled at the top of the post. See disclosures.
- Copy approval is not offered — the review is the review. Factual corrections always welcome.
- Turnaround is usually two to three weeks from visit to published post.
- Posts stay up permanently and are shared across Instagram and TikTok.
