You’ll start your day off by mastering the River Soar on a canoe with the Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre. Their Go Paddle starter session is perfect for beginners and will give you all the tools to conquer the mighty river.
Your lunch will be provided by the Outdoor Pursuits centre, but it’s only a quick pit-stop before you’re onto your afternoon activity – hopefully, you don’t mind heights!
You’ll be taking on the climbing and abseiling challenge on their high stakes adventure course, but if that sounds like a bit too much, you can hit some other targets – with an Air Rifle or Bow!
After all that activity, you’ll have worked up an appetite, luckily, you are only a stone's throw away from the famous Golden Mile with all your favourites, plus a smorgasbord of authentic curries & street food.
If you’re ready to settle in for the night, you won’t be far from one of the City Centre’s fabulous accommodation providers, like the newly opened Hotel Brooklyn or The Gresham.
Rise and shine for another day of active adventures. You’ll be putting your newfound canoeing skills to the test with an all day “Pub Paddle Tour”.
Starting from the familiar surroundings of the Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre, this route is a lovely paddle downstream to the White Horse Pub for a drink and a pub lunch. Your route will take you past the scenic Watermead Park, with plenty of wildlife to pick out as you peacefully paddle down the river.
After a day on the water, one of Leicester’s many restaurants will be happy to host you for dinner, whether it be award winning burgers, authentic Neapolitan pizza, or whatever else you fancy – you deserve it!
Your final day will be a little more relaxed, but definitely no less fun! You start off with a 30 minute golf lesson at the Leicester Golf Centre, where you then put your skills into practice at their Top Tracer Range Session – perfect for anyone with a bit of a competitive streak in them...
You’ll then head into the City for lunch at Lane7, one of Leicester’s recently opened venues in the refurbished Great Central Train Station. Their rotating range of street food providers will leave you spoilt for choice, with Thai, Gourmet Burgers and Deserts all on the cards.
You won’t have to go far for your next activity, as Lane7 also houses 12 lanes of bowling action, and a wacky indoor crazy-golf course. Take your pick and spend the afternoon putting, throwing, or just enjoying the amusements.
Once your mini-break has come to an end, you can pat yourself on the back, knowing that you’ve mastered the canoe, trained on the tees, bowled your heart out, eaten some incredible food - and most of all, enjoyed yourself on a great active escape.
