Leeds Lamenters: The Whimsical Guild of Historical Overthinkers

Welcome to the Leeds Lamenters, a peculiar society for anyone whose heart beats in sync with the echoes of Leeds’ storied past. Here, we gather to muse upon our beloved city’s history whilst sporting amusing hats that would make even the Queen raise an eyebrow. We shall indulge in sessions of nostalgic storytelling, where we feast on Yorkshire puddings and lament the loss of the good old days—like when it rained less or when 'Through the Keyhole' first aired. Expect dry humor and the occasional philosophical debate on whether Leeds was indeed better in the '80s (it wasn't, but we say it is). From the arcane art of researching obscure local legends to overly dramatic readings from history books, we aim to keep Leeds' culture alive while questioning all life choices that led us to this splendid gathering. Witty repartees, puns, and the fine art of making a spectacle of our own nostalgia are encouraged! Join us, for together we shall wander through history, with a side of dry wit and a sprinkle of enthusiasm for what on Earth we’re even talking about.
