3. Leicester Guildhall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 535 reviews
Leicester is privileged to have one of the best-preserved timber framed halls in the country dating back 600 years. The Guildhall is a historic building and the oldest building still in use in the city. It was Leicester’s first police station and between 1876 and the 1900’s and saw many unsavoury characters pass through its doors. The Great Hall itself was built in about 1390 as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi (a small but powerful group of businessmen and gentry) and it’s also believed that Shakespeare performed here during Tudor times. Today, the Guildhall is best known as an excellent performance venue, attracting acts from across the country. It’s also known as a museum where visitors can step back in time and come face to face with Crankie Gemmie and Emma Smith, two of Leicester's notorious pick-pockets who can be found lurking in the Victorian police cells. The museum is also home to the Medieval Leicester galleries and The White Rose Cafe.

This guildhall was interesting and had many original features from the time of use. The mayor's room was amazing. The little signs regarding not touching anything were even very funny. This was a free admission and even had activity sheets for children to add it. The old hall was lovely too and to think it was in use until the 20s shows the longterm use of the building. Fantastic little museum.

We were invited to the Tigers v Gloucester recently including hospitality. My wife and I decided to travel by train - which was excellent and only 14mins walk from the station. Welford Rd Stadium is a compact ground with easily accessed parking and public transport links. The hospitality suite was very well organised with plenty of staff and a couple of relatively famous speakers. The food was excellent. Even better was the result - Tigers won.

I live in NZ so don't get to many games. Many years ago I had my photo taken with The Birch. I emailed to say I was attending and wondered if it was possible for an updated photo. The club were amazing, not only wrangling a pitchside meet and greet with The Birch but also presented me with a squad signed ball. Truly amazing day. The memorial garden is a wonderful tribute, the fanstore excellent and the stadium first class

Met a friend here for coffee and a cake and it was perfect. Beautiful surroundings homemade meals looked great and a good choice of cakes. Relaxing atmosphere friendly staff and plenty of parking. A charity shop to support the charity next door and a model railway open on certain days is awesome. Recommend to anyone.

Our little boy was being shielded so couldn’t go out anywhere public but loves animals. Red gate we’re absolutely amazing to us. They allowed us to come in when the place was closed and left us alone to go around and see the animals. Our son adored it and they were so, so good to us. I’m incredibly grateful. The place is wonderful, they do an amazing job looking after the animals and it’s wonderful for children to see them close up, to be able to feed them and generally to be part of something so wonderful. They have lots of goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, geese, a turkey, cats, etc. It’s like being able to visit and play in a farmyard, brilliant for little ones. And thank you so much for being so great to us

The award-winning King Richard III Visitor Centre is in Leicester city centre, opposite Leicester Cathedral. It has been created around the location where King Richard III's remains were buried for more than 500 years. Using storytelling, design and 21st century technology, visitors can discover the incredible story of the King's life and death, and one of the greatest archaeological detective stories ever told
Reviewed By I2589WAnicolac - Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
We enjoyed our visit here very much; the displays give a good context to the Wars of the Roses and the upstairs exhibition, giving details of the archaeological dig and the scientific identification of Richard III's body are particularly fascinating. Being able to see the grave site is a moving experience, especially as you can then go across the road to see Richard III's tomb in the cathedral.
