HEART - Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre

Community, Business and Arts Centre run for the community by the community. Events, gigs, room hire

Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre - HEART - is the arts, enterprise and community centre in the middle of Headingley run by the community for the community. People are at our heart – as well as it is the way we operate in the building. HEART exists thanks to the efforts of Headingley Development Trust that worked hard to keep this old primary school in community use. At the heart of Headingley

, we offer a versatile venue to hire, a spacious shared workspace and a varied programme of events and classes. Visit us for fun or for work, but make sure you stop by Assembly Bar + Kitchen nestled inside the building – a great place to grab a drink or a bite to eat with family or friends.
