Christmas LEAP Fair
Student-Made Gifts for a Thoughtful Christmas
Join us at the Merrion Centre this Christmas for the LEAP Fair — a festive pop-up market showcasing creative work made by students from across the community.
From handmade crafts and artwork to unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else, the LEAP Fair is a great way to support young talent while picking up something truly original for the holidays.
About LEAP
The Leeds Enterprise Advisory Programme (LEAP) is a not-for-profit organisation which runs an enterprise programme for students aged 14-19.
Each academic year, teams of students set up their own companies, raise share capital, write a business plan, and select, source and market a product or service.
What ‘Yule’ Find
One-of-a-Kind Products: All items are made by students — from prints and ceramics to jewellery, homeware, cards, and more.
Creative Talent on Display: Support the next generation of artists and makers. Every purchase helps students gain experience and grow their practice.
On Saturday 6th December local students from schools across the region will sell their crafted products at the LEAP Trade Fair here at the Merrion Centre on our main mall.
The stalls will be open in the centre from 9am-3.30pm. Perfect for supporting young entrepreneurs and for little gifts for loved ones.
