Saluti!
I will be going to the Leeds Symposium from London, which is probably what
you remember reading - unfortunately there isn't anyone in Leeds as far as I
know. 
If you are interested, I am sorting out transport (either train or coach),
accomodation bookings and number of registrations for this at the end of
next week (waiting on the train company specials) and am quite happy to
include you and your lord in any or all of my arrangements. 
Currently 4 of us are confirmed with another 2+ probables, so it should be a
merry party. Current thinking is to go up on Friday after work about 6:30,
and stay Fri/Sat nights. The Symposium is Saturday only so doing some
sightseeing or shopping or Armories touring on the Sunday before returning
home. 
There is this URL for info on Leeds:
http://www.leeds.gov.uk/tourinfo/tourinfo.html
which tells you about the markets also, but inquiring at the hotel re
bookshops and antique shops will probably get you the local scoop. A couple
of the others won't be attending the Symposium, so your husband won't be
alone.
There is also this URL which is a good accomodation guide:
