About HEARTHEART is the new arts and community centre in the middle of Headingley where people from all walks of life come to meet, work and play. HEART exists thanks to the efforts of Headingley Development Trust that worked hard to keep this old primary school in community use.

At the heart of Headingley, we offer a varied programme of music, films, exhibitions, workshops, performances and more. Are you looking for a space to work, a venue for a meeting or party - or somewhere to put on classes or performances? Check out our facilities.

Visit us for fun or for work, but make sure you stop by the café and try our delicious meals - all locally sourced – and our secluded outdoor seating area.

Find out what we do for our community! www.heartcentre.org.uk
