From indie drinking holes to world-class theatre, life in the SoYo district puts you within touching distance of the city’s incredible cultural scene.
Ever thought about moving to the city? You could wake up in one of Mercer West Madison East’s sleek build-to-rent apartments, sprawled out in an ultra-cosy bed. Out of the window, the stunning Leeds skyline glistens in the sun. You sip a coffee as you plan out your day – with so much going on around you, where do you even begin?
We’re giving one lucky winner the chance to try out a slice of city-centre living with a bundle of SoYo-centred prizes – dinner for two at Sarto, a night out at Boom Battle Bar, a £50 bar tab to spend at Outlaws Yacht Club and a pair of tickets to see Narnia at Leeds Playhouse. Enter now!

If you’re our winner you’ll get to dig into handmade Italian dishes at Sarto. Situated right on the doorstep of Mercer West and Madison East, it’s the perfect location for inventive fresh pasta dishes at a pocket-friendly price tag – ideal when you don’t fancy cooking.
You’ll get to order a house lager or wine each, along with any starter and main. Kick things off with the likes of three-cheese arancini, then tuck into sumptuous mains like bucatini with puttanesca sauce and caper crumb, or rigatoni with lamb shoulder ragu. With regularly rotating menus, there’s plenty of reason to keep coming back.

You’ll enjoy three hours of gaming for two, giving you plenty of time to try out the venue’s wide range of games. You’ll also get four drinks tokens each, so you can sip creative cocktails like the Pineapple & Coconut Teqcolada, along with £25 to spend on bar bites – we can’t get enough of the chicken wings.
