Kirkstall Abbey Consultation
Consultation open from 12 December 2024 - 23 January 2025.
Leeds Museums & Galleries are consulting on changes to the service in response to Leeds City Council facing unprecedented financial challenges.
In 2022, Kirkstall Abbey changed their admission model to charge non-Leeds residents an entrance fee for 12 months access to the main Abbey ruins. Subject to legal advice, Leeds City Council is proposing to implement an admission charge for everyone, including Leeds residents, to visit the main Abbey ruins. This would operate as an annual pass scheme, with everyone paying once a year for 12 months access to the main Abbey ruins. Park access would remain free.
The proposal is subject to public consultation, which will be live from 12 December 2024 - 23 January 2025.
