Welcome to Leicester!

Leicester is the biggest city in the East Midlands and the tenth biggest city in England with a population of 280,000. It is a historic city and dates back to Roman times. It is now one of the most multicultural cities in the country with 33% of the population coming from different ethnic minority groups. The biggest group is from India, but there are also Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Caribbean, African and Chinese communities. The Indian population is the biggest of any city in the country.

There is a lot going on in Leicester. Every year there is a ten day comedy festival which attracts up to 50,000 people and features comedians from all over the world. In July there is a ‘mela’, a festival of Asian music, dance, fashion, food and crafts. In August there is a Caribbean carnival and in October or November it is Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. Leicester’s Diwali is the biggest in England.

The Diwali lights are switched on in Belgrave Road, one of the most famous roads in Leicester because of its amazing Asian shops and restaurants. You can buy a sari, an Indian dress, jewellery, Asian books and crafts, even Asian greetings cards. Many people come here to buy food in the shops and the smell of spices is beautiful. And, of course, if you want to eat a delicious curry, Belgrave Road is the place to come.

Of course, Leicester also has more traditional shops and restaurants and the best places are Stoneygate, an area of small shops and galleries, and Leicester market which is 700 years old.
