Discover Leicestershire While You Train to Be an Electrician
Explore Leicestershire Between Classes
Make the most of your downtime while you study, these ten local legends will give you a real taste of what makes Leicestershire special:
- King Richard III Visitor Centre & Tomb
Stand on the very spot where archaeologists unearthed the last Plantagenet king beneath a city-centre car park in 2012. Interactive exhibits walk you through the detective story, and Richard’s re-interment in Leicester Cathedral (just across the courtyard) feels almost cinematic. It’s history, mystery and royal drama rolled into one afternoon.
- National Space Centre
When your head’s full of wiring diagrams, aim higher, literally. Six themed galleries, hands-on simulators and the 42-metre Rocket Tower make Britain’s biggest space museum an unbeatable brain-reset. Student tip: Friday late-opening planetarium shows are perfect post-class.
- Melton Mowbray Pork Pie
Grab a warm, hand-raised pork pie from Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe on Nottingham Street and taste Protected Geographical Indication in action. It’s the fastest way to understand why locals call Melton the “Rural Capital of Food.”
- Red Leicester Cheese
Most supermarkets stock the industrial stuff, but at Leicester Market’s specialist cheese stalls you’ll find traditional farmhouse wheels, aged for extra nuttiness and sliced to order. Pair with a crusty cob for an energy-boosting lunch between sessions.
- Walkers Crisps Factory Aroma
On certain mornings a toasty, salty haze drifts over the city from the Walkers plant on Bursom Road. Follow your nose to Leicester Market and you’ll usually catch promotional flavours you can’t buy anywhere else.
- Leicester City’s 5,000-to-1 Premier League Story
Drop by the King Power Stadium for a match or stadium tour and relive the impossible 2015-16 title run. The trophy’s on display, and the club shop sells retro “Fearless” shirts—ideal memorabilia of under-dog grit.
- Leicester Tigers RFC
Even if rugby’s new to you, a Saturday at Welford Road is electric. Tigers are England’s most decorated club, and the pre-kick-off roar (“Tiiiii-gers!”) will make your spine tingle louder than any power tool.
- Bradgate Park & Old John Tower
Swap the workshop for wild deer and rugged moorland just 25 minutes from the city centre. Hike up to the Old John folly for panoramic views, then cool your boots paddling in the River Linch.
- Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre
Walk the fields where Henry Tudor ended the Wars of the Roses in 1485. The hands-on longbow range lets you test your aim—excellent forearm exercise after a week of conduit bending.
- Foxton Locks
Ten canal chambers lift boats 75 feet in just a quarter-mile: pure Victorian engineering genius. Watch narrowboats “stair-step” uphill, then explore the remains of the experimental inclined-plane boat lift that once tried to out-smart the locks.
