Family Fun in Oadby & Wigston

Looking for a family day out in Oadby and Wigston? We’ve got some great ideas for you to enjoy!

Situated right on the South East edge of Leicester, Oadby and Wigston is our smallest district, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t full of fantastic things to do with the family. From long walks in the country park to cosmic adventure golf you can get out and about in the countryside air. And with one of the city’s finest green spaces at the Botanic Gardens, you’ll be sure to get your fix of nature. Step into the history of Leicester’s textile industry at the Framework Knitting Museum, housed in a row of traditional cottages. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, then Oadby’s indoor fun area at the leisure centre is ideal. Or you can head to Stoughton Grange and try your hand at either pottery painting or the Nineteen indoor virtual golfing experience.
