Episode One
Welcome to the world of 'A Third Place,' a captivating video series that delves into the vibrant fabric of small independent businesses in the city of Leeds, UK. Drawing inspiration from the sociological concept of a third place, this series celebrates the pivotal role these establishments and their owners play in our society.
In sociology, a third place refers to a social environment that exists beyond the realms of home (first place) and work (second place). It's a gathering spot where individuals come together to connect, forge meaningful relationships, and build a sense of community. These third places serve as the heart and soul of a neighbourhood, fostering a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie.
