This weekend, the 197-year-old Sunny Bank Mills opens its doors for an immersive celebration of its industrial past and creative present.
Alongside access to the historic Red Lane Mill archive - home to cloth samples dating back to the 1880s - the main gallery hosts a powerful new exhibition created with Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre and Pyramid of Arts, highlighting the work of neurodivergent artists and makers with learning disabilities.
With over 40 resident creatives throwing open their doors for Leeds Open Studios, pop-up stalls in the Main Yard, and a family print trail, the historic Farsley mill is buzzing with community spirit.
Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Gerard Binks went along to capture some of the sights many can see for themselves this weekend.
