Temperatures are warming up and the sun has even made an appearance for some of the Bank Holiday weekend, as many of us visited a beer garden or outdoor terrace for the first time this year.
With a jam-packed summer ahead - the Euros are set to begin in just over a month’s time - we asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers for their recommendations for where to enjoy a nice cold pint in the sunshine.
Here are 21 of the best beer gardens across Leeds and a little beyond - as picked by them.
