Sad news - The Oxford Place in Leeds is closing

There's still time to book in for a final time at The Oxford Place in Leeds.

Sadly The Oxford Place in Leeds is closing on Friday 31st July.

For the last nine years The Oxford Place has served up a wonderful range of 100% gluten free dishes.

We've had so many superb and memorable meals there over the years, and are looking forward to more before the end of July.

Do get booked in via The Oxford Place website if you can before they close!

For someone with Coeliac Disease and needing a 100% gluten free menu, The Oxford Place has been somewhere I've been able to dine out with friends and family (people with and without Coeliac Disease) with peace of mind.

Following the announcement on Instagram you can see that I'm not the only one who has had positive experiences at The Oxford Place. They will be missed by a lot of people.

A Crazy World of Minigolf Tour visit to The Hole In Wand Wizard Golf at St Johns Shopping Centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The Hole In Wand Wizard Golf at St Johns Shopping Centre in Leeds

We recently had a day out in Leeds and after a superb meal at The Oxford Place in the city centre we had a wander to find an activity - and remembered that when we last visited Leeds in the summer that a new minigolf course is under construction at St Johns Shopping Centre, and that it was now open.

The Hole In Wand Wizard Golf is a 9-hole indoor crazy golf course with a magical theme - and it certainly is immersive!

The layout contains nine unique holes - and there's a variety of gameplay apart from the putting itself.
