We currently have two principal venues for our open meetings:

The Carriageworks Theatre, Millennium Square, Leeds

The Lamb and Flag , 1 Church Row, Leeds LS2 7HD

All regular Manuscript Meetings are held at the Carriageworks, 7.00 – 9.00 pm, usually in Room 3 or 4 on Level 2. We tend to start congregating in the bar area from around 6.45pm. Visitors are welcome so please come along and find us. If you’re coming for the first time, there are some details HERE to help.

A fee of £3 is payable by members on the night to cover the cost of the room. This does not apply to guests, who are encouraged to come along a couple of times before deciding if they want to join.

Our Draft and Craft sessions meet at the Lamb & Flag, from 6.30pm. Members can just get a drink and come find us, usually in the downstairs backroom.

All events are on a Monday unless explicitly stated otherwise.
