THE PACKHORSE
Pub and gig venue in Woodhouse, Leeds
Dating back to the 19th century, The Packhorse is a much-loved Leeds pub that
combines historic charm with a vibrant grassroots music scene.
Tucked away in
Woodhouse, just a short walk from the city centre, it’s known for its cosy atmosphere,
great selection of real ales, and intimate upstairs venue.
Over the years, it’s become
a crucial space for Leeds’ DIY and independent music communities, hosting everything
from punk and indie gigs to folk and experimental nights. With its mix of tradition
and creativity, The Packhorse remains a true local institution.
