A plant shop, a distillery and a retro Italian sports bar – that’s just a taste of the new arrivals coming to Leeds in the near future.
The new openings never seem to stop in Leeds and we’ve got the inside track on another tantalising batch of 10 that offer a little 
something for everyone. You can look forward to picking up amazing plants, sipping Leeds-made spiced rum and stepping back in time at a 90s Italian football-themed bar. But that’s just the start, so take a look at what’s coming our way and make plans to check them out.
Poppy’s Potting Shed
Just a year after launching in Armley during lockdown, Poppy needs a bigger Potting Shed. The houseplant shop is moving to a brand new 1,000 square-foot premises on Kirkstall Road. Alongside the oodles of plants you can buy to add some leafy goodness to your home – it even has a menu board to help customers select their perfect one – you can also look forward to a series of events and workshops, form terrarium-making to plant and Prosecco evenings.
Golaccio
If you love Italian football, Golaccio is a game-changer, bringing calcio fever to the old George pub on Great George Street. The 90s were the golden age of Italian football and the era still has a cult following – you can sup craft beers as you check out the images of Batistuta, Baggio and Baresi adorning the walls next to vintage football shirts. HD screens will show old games when they’re not screening live games. Pool, darts and 90s video games round it off nicely.
