Purpose: Leeds 400 is an opportunity for Leeds to celebrate a major milestone in its history during 2026. On the 13th July 2026, it will be 400 years since Leeds was granted its first ever Royal Charter by King Charles I. There is an opportunity to work together with partners across the city to celebrate the achievements of Leeds following its Royal Charter but also the city today – its people, its organisations and its continued growth and success.
