We are looking forward to our next event which is a visit to Tropical World in Leeds on Tuesday 20th May followed by lunch. This is a chance to visit ‘another world’, home to loads of exciting and exotic animals, seen as you wander through the rainforest, the aquarium and the desert house.

We ask that people meet at Tropical world at 10.15am, which should give people time to travel from York and park. Any lifts needed then we will try and accommodate, so please email Pam Lydiate, pam@belfrey.org. Tropical World is at Princes Avenue, Roundhay, Leeds, LS8 2ER, Tel: 0113 535 2132

Free parking is available close by (Old Park Road and Lidgett Park Road but do check when parking) and just a short walk to Tropical World. Disabled parking is available on Princes Avenue just outside the entrance to Tropical World. Finally, paid parking is also available. 

We don't need to pre-book as you can pay on the day at a cost of £9. Any carers go free with an ID. Also, there is one electric scooter for hire if anyone needs it. The walk through of the venue takes about 40mins - 1 hour and there is an opportunity for a tea stop at the cafe halfway round. 

Lunch will be at the Lakeside Cafe in Roundhay Park at about 12noon, which is very close by and has its own car park. 

Looking forward, we have our annual afternoon tea at the Baynes in Dunnington, Saturday 21st June, and the July event is most likely to be cancelled as I am away on a mission trip.
