Leicester is an underrated pick for a hen weekend, a city that takes its food seriously, with the Golden Mile and the Cultural Quarter both offering excellent options for a pre-class explore. Our mixologists cover Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area for private cocktail masterclasses.
Leicester is one of England's oldest cities. Roman ruins sit beneath the modern streets, and the discovery of Richard III's remains under a car park in 2012 put the city on the international map. The Golden Mile on Belgrave Road is one of the finest concentrations of South Asian restaurants in the UK, simply unmissable for a group dinner. The Cultural Quarter around Cank Street has a growing independent bar and restaurant scene, and Clarendon Park and Stoneygate offer some of the most beautiful Victorian residential streets in the Midlands.
