We’re back this month for one of Leeds’ longest running meetups for folks in tech, creative, and startups. We’re gathering for a friendly pint after work and have some covered space reserved outdoors on the patio so you can come, have a drink, and check in with all your friends in Leeds.

What is Leeds Digital Drinks?
Founded in 2016, Leeds Digital Drinks started as a humble meetup of a few friends catching up in the pub after work.
In the last decade the team of volunteers have been supporting the Leeds digital community through meetups, Founders Friday, Startup Weekends, conferences, business dinners, and more!
In recent years the team has expanded to wider conferences around the country but we’re going back to our roots for 2026 for that local friendly feel. Our events kick off with a guest speaker and end up at a local pub following the session to ask questions and continue the conversations.
Who is Leeds Digital Drinks for?
We started as an open community for beginners, new professionals and the tech curious and still welcome absolutely anyone with a passion for the tech, startup and creative sectors of our amazing city. If you have a question, chances are someone at our meetups can help answer it. Whether you’re currently in tech, want to get into tech, have a startup idea, or have the tiniest bit of excitement about new technology, new challenges & Leeds and its future then you’ll find a new friend here.
Who is Leeds Digital Drinks NOT for?
If you prefer events that are more transactional and where selling and exchanging business cards is the main focus then you probably will want to give us a miss.
Who attends our events?
We’re proud to have had 10 years of people with a wide variety of backgrounds, roles, and experience attend our events – from Leeds residents and visitors to the city alike. Leeds Digital Drinks attendees share one thing in common: they are open to new ideas, friendly conversations, sharing generously and meeting new people.
Our vibe for our drinks meetup is always laid back, welcoming and friendly.
