The Leeds Corn Exchange stands as a true beacon in the city’s landscape. A place with a rich history of pioneering new trends and a vibrant future leading Leeds’ independent culture of fashion, food, and retail.
It’s a destination that houses the true ‘Leeds Originals’, making it an authentic and essential experience for anyone visiting our city.
At Rushbond, we proudly embrace our role as custodians of this cherished Grade I listed marvel. Our vision has always been to sensitively nurture its unique character and ensure its sustainability as a jewel in Leeds’ crown for generations to come. Since becoming responsible for its care, we’ve embarked on a series of considered improvements, always with a focus on preserving its soul while enhancing its welcome.
Thoughtful Enhancements
Improving Accessibility: A new, beautifully hand-crafted external ramp now offers an improved welcome for all.
Restoring Historic Fabric: We’ve undertaken meticulous high-level stonework restoration, carefully attended to all window decorations and intricate metalwork, and completed essential flat roof repairs and door upgrades.
Revitalising its Heart: The stunning interiors have been sensitively redecorated, complemented by inspiring public artwork installations that add to its unique atmosphere.
Investing in its Environment: We’ve made environmental improvements and carried out substantial work to the surrounding public realm, ensuring the Corn Exchange continues to sit proudly within its setting.
Today, the Leeds Corn Exchange thrives as a vibrant home to a dynamic family of independent retailers, spread across its iconic ground and balcony floors.
The early months of 2023 saw us welcome exciting new members to this creative collective, including the likes of NI Studios, Glory Days, Sour Cherry, Indie Makers, and Infaant, each adding to the diverse tapestry of this remarkable place.
The Corn Exchange continues to evolve, always promising something new to discover.
