What's on in Leicester This Weekend

Events in Leicester From 5th June – 7th June 2026

You can find a range of activities in Leicester this weekend, from live music at multiple venues to sporting events and creative performances. On Friday evening through Sunday, options include music across the city, with events in the Cultural Quarter and near the King Power Stadium after a match. For those wanting energy, there are lively nights out, and for the active, games like rugby offer physical engagement. Parking in the city centre is tight, so using the Midland Main Line or First Bus services is advisable. You’ll find the Jewry Wall Museum, which holds a Roman-era history, and Leicester Cathedral, where King Richard III was reinterred in 2015. The city’s green spaces offer family time, and Beryl Bikes provide access, though the M1 motorway causes noise and air pollution in areas like Braunstone. Events reflect the city’s past, dating to the Iron Age and Roman Ratae Corieltauvorum, and the Great Central Railway remains a sign of industrial heritage. Check the listings below for start times and locations.
