Leeds Loves awards announces 2022 shortlist

The Leeds Loves awards 2022 finalists are here and you can show support to your favourites by voting.

Launched earlier this year, Leeds Loves is celebrating the very best of our wonderful city’s hospitality industry. We know it has been a difficult few years for the sector and we wanted to do something to show our support.

The awards, run by us here at LeedsLive, includes 10 categories. We’ve been asking you to nominate your Leeds favourites and we’ve now put the shortlist together featuring each Leeds Loves 2022 award.

Now is your time to vote for who you want to win. Next month, we’ll then announce the winners.

Editor Wayne Ankers said: "It is amazing to see so many venues back open and bustling with customers. So we thought now is the right time to celebrate the best places we have in Leeds and give you the chance to show how much you love them.

"There are so many brilliant venues across the city and it is your chance to show your support. We want to really shout about what our incredible city has to offer.”
