An entire village will be closed to Leeds Festival-goers later this month, after it was previously used as a “rat run” for the event.
Aberford, on Leeds’ outer eastern edge will be shut to through traffic trying to get to the festival at Bramham Park again this year, after the closure was first introduced in 2021.
The 173 and 174 buses, as well as residents themselves, will still be able to travel through Aberford across the Bank Holiday weekend, however. The closure was confirmed by Leeds Festival organisers at a council licensing committee on Tuesday.
