Christmas
1 December 2025 - 31 December 2025

We love to celebrate in Leicester and Christmas is no exception! The festivities start in mid-November with the Christmas lights switch-on and continue into the New Year. The highlights include the Ice Skate Leicester real ice rink, the 40m tall Wheel of Light, the traditional Town Hall lights and of course the fantastic shopping. 2024 saw the first Leicester Christmas Market taking over the city centre and we look forward to welcoming this back as part of our Christmas traditions.

A Leicestershire Christmas tradition is having Pork Pies (from Melton Mowbray of course) for Christmas morning breakfast!
