ABOUT TESTBED

TESTBED is a newly renovated 10,000 sq foot event venue in Leeds that offers endless possibilities for creating unique and inspiring experiences. Our blank canvas space can be transformed to suit any occasion, from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions.

TESTBED is coming alive in iterations

(1.1 thru 1.9). A bit like software, it works from the start, but over time upgrades and bug fixes happen to improve the user experience and provide more functionality.

We aim to create a space that Leeds really needs, a space that is shaped by the people that use it. We are currently at phase 1.3 - we build from there, always testing, always learning, and always improving.

This Saturday, TESTBED becomes Oktoberfest! 🍺🥨

What are you waiting for? Grab your mates, get your steins ready, and celebrate the German way right here in Leeds.

Expect benches shaking, bratwursts sizzling, and singalongs all night long 🎶🔥

Final tickets are nearly gone — link in bio to secure yours!

Taking place for a limited time only, this nostalgic adventure into the heart of the Acid House rave scene is not to be missed.
