Leeds Media; the specialist division of Your Chamber for the creative, digital and media sector has recently introduced 'The Second Thursday Social', a programme of social events to supplement the more formal education training and networking activities.

The first of these socials recently took place at the City Inn Hotel, located on the revitalised Granary Wharf area next to the Leeds station and canal. Judging by the feedback we received the event was a resounding success with over 80 representatives from Leeds’ digital and creative sectors enjoying a few drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. It was a great opportunity for like-minded individuals to catch-up and discuss what interesting changes are taking place in the media sector of the Leeds City region.

Gary McCall the Chair of Leeds Media says, "The media sector has traditionally been renowned for its love of a night out, but perhaps during the difficult trading conditions we have all faced, we have kept our heads down and forgotten the benefits of a few drinks and a good chat after work."

The events, which are free of charge to attend, are open to anyone who works in this vibrant sector and will take place at a variety of great venues across the Leeds City region. They will offer attendees the opportunity to meet up regularly with peers in an informal environment.

The next Second Thursday Social will involve a trip to the theatre for an evening of wine tasting and the fantastic opportunity to be taken on a behind the scenes tour of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, including their costume wardrobe, two theatres, and costume and set workshops.
