Around the Clock

It barely seems 12 months since the much-loved Oakwood clock tower was finally restored, but alas, another year is upon us again. JLife’s round-up of some of the best businesses in Oakwood.

 

There’s always plenty to do in Oakwood, but besides the usual parade of shops, bars and restaurants which continue to serve its faithful residents, Oakwood will also be enjoying its regular Farmer’s Market, on the first Saturday of every month throughout 2016 around the famous clock.

Now in its eighth year, if you have not yet browsed this regular market then you are missing a treat. It’s a great spot to buy some fantastic produce, and also a regular meeting spot for locals to catch up with each other. Receiving FARMA accreditation, and being the second farmers’ market in Leeds to have done so, has meant that it can prove its status as a true farmers’ market. Just some of the fayre on offer includes: organic meat, bread, eggs, pies, cakes, fish, fruit and vegetables, hot coffee and tea, jam and chutneys, potatoes, cheeses, venison, patisseries, plants, mushrooms and soups. A true smorgasbord of fresh produce for you to sample!

New businesses to the area include Sports Direct, as well as Wickes. Scandinavian supermarket brand, Netto, also set its sights on Leeds once more, with the opening of its second store at the old Co-op location.

The North Leeds Charity Beer Festival is also guaranteed to be a popular event, taking place this year at the North Leeds Cricket Cub. With the theme ‘Yorkshire versus Wales’ it is sure to be a riotously successful weekend. Commencing on Friday 8th April, a festival ticket of £5 will get you a commemorative beer glass, a programme and two beer tokens. And all in aid of The Rotary Club of Roundhay!

So, 12 months on, and you can now also buy a DVD of the removal and restoration of the tower and unveiling by the Lord Mayor of Leeds last year. It is available to buy from City Stationers. Though time continued to pass temporarily without the clock tower, the beating heart of the area was faithfully restored thanks to everyone’s hard work, allowing Oakwood to tick along once more.
