Leeds-based events brand Mint, known for Mint Festival, Mint Warehouse and the former Mint Club, has officially announced the location of its highly anticipated new venue, Mint XL, set to open within the former PRYZM nightclub site on Woodhouse Lane in the heart of Leeds city centre.
At a time when much of the UK nightlife industry continues to face ongoing challenges, Mint XL arrives as a bold statement of intent – reinvesting in a large-scale city centre venue and reaffirming Leeds’ position as one of the UK’s leading destinations for music and culture.
Currently undergoing an extensive redevelopment and full-scale renovation, Mint XL is being completely reimagined into a 2,500-capacity venue built around high-spec production, immersive experiences and forward-thinking event programming.
Located within the Merrion Centre, owned and managed by Town Centre Securities (TCS), the venue sits prominently within one of Leeds’ most vibrant and accessible districts, close to the city’s universities, nightlife and key transport links.
Designed to move seamlessly between electronic music events, touring live shows, brand activations, private hire and corporate experiences, Mint XL sets to bring new energy back into one of Leeds city centre’s most iconic nightlife spaces.
At the core of the venue sits a major focus on sound and production. Mint XL will be powered by a newly installed Funktion-One Vero sound system throughout the main spaces, alongside high-spec lighting, immersive visual production and bespoke room design.
The venue will officially launch with its opening party taking place on Friday 25th September, marking the beginning of a new era for nightlife and live experiences in Leeds city centre.
Mint also extended special thanks to TCS and the Merrion Centre team for their support and collaboration in helping bring the project to life within the heart of Leeds.
While Mint XL represents the brand’s biggest venue project to date, the team have remained focused on retaining the intimate atmosphere and close connection to music that has defined both Mint Club and Mint Warehouse.
