Join us for a vibrant three-day celebration of bold, boundary pushing photography. Photo North Festival champions documentary photography and film that tell real stories, challenge perspectives, and spark meaningful conversation. We highlight underrepresented voices, explore social issues, and celebrate creativity, culture, and those who inspire change.

New for 2026
We’re excited to introduce a special festival within the festival, curated by Leeds International African Arts Festival. This dynamic new strand will feature a rich programme of exhibitions, talks, screenings, books, merchandise, special performances, and authentic African street food. It promises colour, energy, and cultural vibrancy, adding an exciting new dimension to an already inspiring weekend.

What to Expect
Legendary photographers, emerging artists, talks, Q&As, screenings, book signings, meet-the-artist sessions, student competitions, indie traders, portfolio reviews, food, bar & more.
