Get your hands on the latest spring issue of the Leicestershire Events Guide, now available at outlets across Leicester and Leicestershire.
The free family entertainment guide, put together by Leicestershire County Council, is packed with 100s of fun and fascinating activities in county museums, country parks and libraries – and many of the events are free. It’s ideal for planning what to do throughout the year.
In February, why not visit the Auster light aircraft exhibition at Snibston? You can marvel at this iconic plane, which was made in Leicestershire, and see a showcase of photographs and objects from the archives which will be on display. Plus there will be a chance to ‘Meet the Experts’ in talks during National Science Week.
See and experience Hawkwise Falconry and Birds at Bosworth Battlefield and Country Park along with a weekend full of Medieval Mayhem on Sunday, 30 and Monday, 31 May.
There are more fantastic exhibitions to see, including:
- The celebration of 125 years of Leicester City Football Club at Snibston – a wonderful display that shows iconic memorabilia, photographs and objects, plus an exciting programme of events.
- Medieval Mayhem over the May Bank Holiday weekend at Bosworth Battlefield – join the visiting army for a day of medieval fun and games.
- The Record Office’s fascinating new exhibition celebrating 100 years of Girl Guiding.
There are evening and weekend openings at some libraries, and they will be celebrating World Book Day in March with many exciting events that the whole family can join in with.
Children can have heaps of half-term fun, Easter and spring Bank Holiday activities to choose from include:
- Puzzlemania, storytelling and craft activities in county libraries
- Easter Egg hunts at Watermead Country Park or fruit tree grafting at Donington le Heath Manor House
- Artzone creative workshops at Charnwood Museum
The Guide’s back page competition is looking for creative children who are secret garden designers. In partnership with Palmers Garden Centre, £150 worth of garden vouchers could be won.
The guide offers lots of reasons to visit the countryside and get involved in outdoor pursuits like walking, fishing, countryside crafts or even joining in a volunteer day! Plus you could win fantastic health equipment found in the library competition.
To find out about any of these events and lots more great days out, pick up your free comprehensive guide from any county library, museum, Service Shop or local Tourist Information Centre.
