What's on in Leicester

Leicester sits in the heart of Leicestershire and manages to pack a punch without needing to shout about it. The Firebug has been hosting live music for years while Barocco keeps the jazz scene alive with its own distinctive style. You can usually find a craft fair or community market within easy reach if you prefer something quieter. The Leicester Community Benefit Society runs events that bring the whole neighbourhood together on a Saturday afternoon. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting for those who like to have a go. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
