Delight your senses with the sights, sounds and tastes within one of Britain’s most colourful cities. 

Steeped in history and home to a vibrant street market, Leicester has a thriving Asian community that gives the city its own distinctive flavour.

Like many cities based on the manufacturing industry, Leicester had to discover a new identity when its prosperous garment factories of the 1950s and 1960s began to close down. Leicester responded by reinventing itself as a city that has not one identity but several. And when you can boast some of the best curries in the country, a space centre and a wooden woolly mammoth, why confine yourself to just one?
