Visiting Hollybush

How to find us

Hollybush is a former farmhouse located on Broad Lane in Kirkstall, at the junction with Bridge Road (B6157).  Please consider the environmental impact of your visit to Hollybush and walk, cycle or use public transport if possible. Bike storage is available, but please bring your own lock!

We are a two-minute walk from bus stops at the Bridge Shopping Centre (numbers 91 and 49) and Kirkstall Morrisons/Kirkstall Road. We are a ten-minute walk from Headingley Train Station.

We have limited parking on site reserved for blue badge holders and those with limited mobility. Other visitors travelling by car have the kind permission of Morrison’s to park at the far end of their carpark (LS5 3AU), a short walk from Hollybush. There is also a very small public carpark on Whyther Lane, by the canal (LS5 3BT).

Café 21@TCV Hollybush

Run by Sunshine and Smiles, Café 21@TCV Hollybush is open between 10am-3pm Wednesday – Friday, serving a range of drinks, cakes and lunches, including options for children.

Sunshine & Smiles – Leeds Down Syndrome Network is a unique charity in Leeds supporting people with Down syndrome, and their families. They also run 21 Co. in Headingley, and each of the venues employs people with Down syndrome as part of the team!
