Leicester Open Streets

Leicester Open Streets is back for 2026! 

Open Streets is back for 2026, bringing three vibrant days of free, family‑friendly fun to Leicester city centre. These pop‑up mini‑festivals celebrate people‑friendly streets and invite everyone to explore the city by walking, wheeling or cycling.

Open Streets 2026 will take place across three dates in May, August and September each with its own theme and a full programme of free activities to enjoy.

Sunday 31 May- Graffwerk’s Street Art Jam 

🎨 Open Streets – Graffwerks Street Art Jam 

📍 Graffwerks HQ, Jarvis Street, LE3 5BN

A highlight returning this year is the Graffwerk Street Art Jam, where artists create live street art alongside spray‑paint workshops and hands‑on upcycling activities. It’s a colourful, creative event that fills the streets with energy, music and community spirit.

Alongside the art activities, the Art Jam also includes bike fix‑it workshops, accessible cycling sessions from Wheels 4 All, and high‑energy live music.

Come back soon for more details about the upcoming Open Streets themes for the rest of the year.
