This is one of the historical churches of Leicester situated within Leicester Castle the oldest part of the city and most interesting for anyone who loves English history. The church itself is Anglo Catholic and it is full of beautiful things worthy of any cathedral both services and concerts take place here take your time exploring this magnificent building. Also visit St Nicholas Church nearby perched near the Jewry Wall once part of a Roman Bathhouse and the church is a must visit for anyone interested in Richard 111.Highly recommended..

This little church is so beautiful. Over a thousand years of history in one small building. Everything from the Anglo-Saxon windows to the centuries of additions since that time is just beautiful. I must also give a special mention to the older gentleman who was so friendly and lovely to my kids, who showed them the bell-ropes and who played on the organ for them. He was a wonderful man and I am grateful for his time.

CHURCH IS CURRENTLY CLOSED AND FURTHER ACCESS DENIED BY THE DIOCESE OF LEICESTER. St Peter's Belgrave is a closed church which dates back to the 12th Century. We offer visitors an insight into the ancient village of Belgrave (as it once was), displays of priestly vestments or time to simply sit and relax in a peaceful environment. Unfortunately, opening hours are very limited due to the terms of our Agreement with the Diocese, therefore it is best to contact us beforehand to check on opening times/days.

Unlike some of the reviews my wife and went today and thought it was really very good . Very informative and liked the visual show very much . It doesn’t last long but thought £22 for us seemed a fair price given the cost of staging the show . Didn’t do the 3D experience so can’t comment . Didn’t realise we liked so many Van Gogh pictures Only slight disappointment is I would have like a bit of info about the church itself which upon reading up on it clearly has a great history . Think there is a missed opportunity there . Well done all involved . Good covid protocols
6. Wigston Magna Methodist Church
