Victoria Leeds has welcomed a new opening as it kicks off its spring season.
Premium outdoor living brand Moda Furnishings has just launched a pop up showroom in Victoria Quarter which will be in place for the coming months. As well as showcasing Moda’s aspirational collections, customers will be able to immerse themselves in the products and access tips and design inspiration on how to decorate their outdoor living space. The Moda Furnishings showroom is located just opposite All Saints and close to The Ivy Brasserie.
Elsewhere, to celebrate spring 2023, Victoria Leeds has created an eye-catching sustainable window display aiming to perfectly capture the season in Yorkshire. Featuring a stunning mix of spring flowers being fed by naturally collected rainwater via tumbling rainbow umbrellas - a nod to the often-rainy Yorkshire weather - the display includes snowdrops, daffodils and pussy willow.

Visitors can watch the seedlings grow throughout the entire spring/summer season, and all flowers will be replanted across the grounds of Victoria Leeds to ensure the space is kept bright and colourful. Victoria Leeds senior general Manager, Jo Coburn said: ‘’We take environmental considerations very seriously at Victoria Leeds and we’re proud of the work our teams carry out to not only ensure we are working responsibly, but doing so in a way that engages our visitors. It’s fantastic that people can follow the progress of our display as we move through the seasons, and our grounds are going to look stunning with all the replanted flowers.’’
To celebrate spring, Victoria Leeds has partnered with Opera North to offer shoppers a unique - running until Saturday, April 29. As You Are, a Soundwalk for Leeds was written for Opera North by South African-born composer and cellist Abel Selaocoe and allows participants to go on an immersive 30-minute audio-visual trip around central Leeds.
Shoppers can collect their headphones from Victoria Leeds, where the immersive experience begins, before embarking on a route around the city where special sensors will trigger sounds and music created to complement key Leeds landmarks.
Jo Coburn added: ‘’Engaging shoppers today must go beyond offering quality products and beautiful window displays, which is why we know our discerning customers are going to fall in love with Soundwalk.’
‘’Opera North is a brand that resonates with our target audience and so we were thrilled to bring back the ground-breaking vision by Abel Selaocoe to Victoria Leeds. We urge anyone with even a passing interest in opera, the arts or the city of Leeds to try. It’s incredible.’’
