Leicester Open Streets
Leicester Open Streets is back for 2025!
Leicester’s Open Streets is a FREE monthly pop-up event to help encourage people to explore the city by walking, wheeling or cycling. On the last Sunday of each month, from May to September, locations across the city centre will welcome people with free, family-friendly and fun entertainment for all abilities from 1-4pm.
Each month, the Open Streets events will take on a different theme from street art to sports.

This month, we’re celebrating Leicester’s rich heritage with a fantastic lineup of hands-on experiences that bring the city’s history to life. Try your hand at traditional crafts like blacksmithing and spoon carving, and explore fascinating stories with Leicester Museums. For those who want to cycle through Leicester’s history, join the Siege of Leicester guided bike ride with local historian Jim Butler from Hidden Histories—spaces are limited, so book your place to secure your spot.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a keen cyclist, or simply looking for a fun way to connect with Leicester’s past and present, this Open Streets event offers something special for all ages and abilities.
