Costs have soared across the country in recent years and fun days out can put rather large dents in your bank account. Recently, I was challenged to have as much fun as possible in Leeds on a budget of £50.
Admittedly it was not a gruelling challenge to be set, but it was certainly an interesting one and I took no persuading to take it on. On a drizzly day in Leeds, I set out to have a day out on a budget of £50 – here is what I did.
7. Beers at Belgrave - £11.10
Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen is one of my favourite places to grab a pint in the city centre, so I met up with a friend there. A pint of Guinness cost me £5.90, whereas my pint of Five Points Pale Ale was priced at £5.20. Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
8. Shuffleboard - £13
Electric Shuffle offer 90 minutes of shuffleboard for £13 per person, so I decided to introduce some competition to my day out. Scores are recorded automatically so there is no admin or cheating - and there are even action replays. This was my final activity of the day and took my total spending to £47.15.
