Cast your mind back to the days of girl power with Spiceworld The Exhibition at Leeds City Museum until Sunday 3 July.
Plan your journey so you have time to take in everything on offer in this exhibition.

Whether you loved them or hated them, the Spice Girls were undoubtedly the most famous girl group in the world in the 1990s.

The girls may now have all gone their separate ways, but Spiceworld will bring them back together in an interactive exhibition celebrating the impact they had on the world.

Much of it has been put together with the help of local super-fan Liz West and her extensive collection of memorabilia.

The exhibition explores the group and how it was marketed, as well as looking into the BritPop culture of the time, from manufactured bands to the media furore surrounding the groups.

Items on show in the exhibition include the iconic Union Jack boots worn by Geri Halliwell in Spiceworld: The Movie and Mel B's trademark giraffe print catsuit.

If you ever sang along to Wannabe, or sang Two Become One, then this exhibition will be unmissable.
