About Leicester
Leicester's history is its bedrock. Founded by the Romans as Ratae Corieltauvorum, it later became a powerful medieval town. Its most famous chapter was written in 2012, when the remains of King Richard III were discovered under a car park, leading to his dramatic reinterment in Leicester Cathedral in 2015. This event catapulted the city into the global spotlight. Today, Leicester is famed for its cultural diversity, with a large and influential South Asian community that has profoundly shaped its food, festivals, and fabric. The city centre is compact and centred around the historic Clock Tower, with key districts including the Cultural Quarter, home to the Curve Theatre and Phoenix cinema, and the bustling shopping areas around Highcross and the historic Leicester Market. The Golden Mile, a stretch of Belgrave Road, is renowned for its saree shops, jewellers, and incredible vegetarian cuisine, especially during Diwali, which Leicester hosts one of the largest celebrations outside of India. From aerospace at the National Space Centre to sport at the King Power Stadium, Leicester offers a compelling blend of heritage and innovation.
Best Time to Visit Leicester
The best time to visit Leicester is during the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) when the weather is generally mild and pleasant, ideal for walking and exploring outdoor attractions. Summer (July-August) is warmest and sees the most tourists, coinciding with school holidays and various festivals, but can be unpredictable with occasional rain. This period includes major events like the Leicester Pride parade and summer food festivals. Winter (December-February) is cold and damp, but it has its own charm with Christmas markets and the atmospheric lighting for Diwali, which usually falls in October or November, a truly spectacular time to experience the city's multicultural spirit. The off-peak seasons (late autumn and winter, excluding Diwali and Christmas) offer fewer crowds and lower accommodation prices, though some outdoor activities may be less appealing.
