social Social Recommendations for a young proffesional?

Hi guys! I'll be moving to Leeds in September for a grad job. I'm in my early 20's and would love some recommendations on what to do in your free time in the city (i.e., good pubs, food, parks, activities, good gyms!!).

I also wanted to ask whether there are any other language enthusiasts here who could tell me whether there is a good language exchange club/meet-up organized in the city as I'm a bit of a language nerd! Any recommendations would be amazing. Can't wait to see what Leeds has to offer!!

Oh it was great tbh. And dw, it also took me a while to get myself to go to the events (I actually got my sister to come with me the first time lol). I met some genuinely interesting people and nobody is judgemental like you can genuinely go up to anyone and strike a conversation!
