From Almost Famous to HOME Restaurant, venues are shutting their doors daily. But why? And more importantly - when will it end?

- What's really causing the crisis
- Why 2025 will be the toughest year yet
- How Leeds is positioned for a strong comeback from 2026

We have written a piece on our website that goes through all of the above.
