Leicester: A Magical Place to Live

Christmas may tempt you to put your property search on hold or delay getting your current home on the market, but it can actually offer a golden opportunity to see even more of what Leicester has to offer as a property hotspot and to experience the magic of our great city for yourself.

Even as the big day approaches, there are huge opportunities to allow Keywest to help make your Leicester property dreams a reality, but there are also many chances to enjoy the family fun that could be experienced every year if you choose to make our city your home.

This festive season – like all others – Leicester offers an extraordinary collection of fun activities and attractions for you to enjoy, whether you are heading out alone or want to take the kids along for the ride. In Jubilee Square, for example, you can don your skates and take to the ice in our huge ice rink. It has even got a clear roof, so you can skate in any weather.

Every hourly session can take as many as 170 skaters, meaning there are plenty of opportunities to go all Torville and Dean, or there is a viewing platform if watching the fun is more your style. If you do like to slip and slide around a rink, there is also the chance to grab your Christmas jumper and join in with the theme nights on Thursdays and Tuesdays, when tickets cost from £6.50 and there are group discounts on offer.

For something a little less energetic, take a stroll to our clock tower and experience the magic of Leicester’s giant Christmas tree, or how about enjoying the fun of the fair on a ride or two at Humberstone Gate West?

If you like a fairy tale, then the White Witch and Aslan are starring in a Narnia tableau, alongside a more traditional nativity scene. Then, of course, there is Leicester’s now famous Christmas market on New Market Square. There are no fewer than 40 different stalls to look at, meaning it should be a breeze to find the ideal Christmas tree gift.

The market also offers bountiful opportunities to tickle your taste buds, whether you fancy a well-earned mulled wine or a more substantial snack from the global menu on offer.

After your pit stop, you could take to the skies in Jubilee Square’s Christmas Wheel of Light, marvelling at the twinkling lights and skaters below, or head to the shops, where independent and big-name stores stay open later to make it easier than ever to find those perfect gifts.
