The Valentine's Fair has returned to Leeds city centre.

Taking over three locations across the city centre, the fair promises over 70 rides and attractions, enough to entertain the whole family.

Running since 1992, the fair has taken over Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens and Cookridge Street in Leeds city centre and among the rides is a huge swinging pendulum known as The Devil Rock.
