Our
Story

From Mint Club to Mint XL. Mint has always been more than a venue. Its history has been built by the artists, promoters, teams and crowds who have passed through its doors, shaped its sound and filled its dancefloors. Now, that story continues at Mint XL.

“Create spaces where music and people connect.”

Over more than two decades, Mint has evolved from an intimate Leeds club into warehouse events, festivals and large-scale productions. Each new chapter has carried the same idea forward:
