Explore the national collection of arms and armour, from Henry VIII's armour to samurai swords, in the glass-towered museum at Leeds Dock.
Why it's a good date: It's free, much bigger than you'd expect and good for a wet afternoon. Walk there along the river from the city centre, and look out for the live demonstrations.
