Rum & Reggae 2026
Rum & Reggae 2026 is a music festival at Elvaston Castle Country Park, Derby, celebrating reggae and rum.
You can find a varied programme in Leicester this week. Evenings come alive with music, spanning live bands and electronic sets, house and reggae rhythms are particularly well represented at venues across the city. Comedy shows are scheduled throughout the week for those who enjoy a good laugh. Playful events designed for connection are happening, and a dedicated sporting fixture reflects the city’s sporting pride. Several venues are geared toward a lively atmosphere, with music events showcasing both established acts and rising talent. Check out 2Funky Complex if you’re interested in the Circus Cortex event. The King Power Stadium hosts football matches for fans.
Leicester’s transport options support access to events. The Midland Main Line connects London and the north, while the M1/M69 motorways serve the city for those driving, though parking in the city centre can be challenging and congestion remains an issue. First Bus services cover much of the area.
For a night out with friends, a family outing using the city’s green spaces, or something to do this week, look at the listings. The Jewry Wall Museum offers a glimpse into Roman history, though it’s worth noting a recent lift malfunction in the film room. The Leicester and Swannington Railway provides a unique perspective on the area’s industrial past, and Beryl Bikes are available for shorter trips. This is a good week to be out and about. Check the listings below for times and venues.
