Local tips
- Bring a small tote or bag — many items (crystals, incense, textiles) are lightweight but fragile; staff will wrap fragile purchases.
- If you want detailed help with singing bowls or crystals, visit during weekday afternoons when staff can give more time.
- Expect close-quarters browsing; if you have mobility equipment, allow a little extra time to move through the racks comfortably.

Discover more about Yellow Sunrise
An intimate treasure trove in a Victorian arcade
Yellow Sunrise occupies a small, vibrant footprint inside Leeds’ Central Arcade, a nineteenth-century shopping gallery whose glazed roof and period detailing lend a vintage backdrop to the store’s colourful displays. The shop makes maximal use of its compact space: low shelving, hanging textiles and stacked boxes create a layered, alcove-like feel where each corner offers something different — from polished crystal clusters to handmade incense and decorative rugs.What to look for among the stacks
Displays are organised by material and theme rather than brand, so you’ll find metals, woods, and textiles mixed with stones and scent. Crystals are presented in pockets and trays; singing bowls of different sizes sit near carved wooden items; hand-rolled incense and packaged blends are arranged by fragrance families. Small labels and handwritten notes offer concise details on materials and uses, while colourful textiles add warmth and texture to the visual experience.Atmosphere, scent and tactile appeal
The shop’s atmosphere is dominated by scent and colour: a soft undercurrent of incense and clipped aromas, the clink of brass and glass when items are handled, and the tactile draw of woven rugs and smooth stones. Lighting is warm and slightly diffuse, enhancing the colours of textiles and the luminous qualities of crystals. The effect is calming rather than clinical — a place designed for lingering and gradual discovery.A local, specialist personality
Yellow Sunrise presents itself as a specialist, locally focused shop rather than a large chain. Its product range blends metaphysical supplies with oriental decorative goods and practical gift items, which gives it a dual personality: part spiritual supply and part curiosity shop. Staff interaction is practical and informative, centred on product knowledge such as bowl sizes or scent profiles rather than formal consultations.Practical rhythms and visiting experience
Opening hours follow a regular daytime pattern suitable for city-centre shopping. The space works best for short browsing sessions, selecting a single special item or assembling a small gift — though repeat visits reveal new stock and seasonal changes. The shop’s compactness means browsing is a close-quarters experience; items are intentionally accessible and packaged for gift-ready purchase.Characterful finds and gifting potential
The inventory leans toward collectible, tactile objects that travel well: small polished stones, incense packets, brass accents, and folded textiles. These are ideal for visitors seeking thoughtful souvenirs or unusual presents. While modest in scale, Yellow Sunrise’s curated selection and warm setting make it an appealing stop for shoppers drawn to handcrafted, ornamental and spiritually themed goods.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
