We’ve been spoilt with bank holidays in May, but as the final one approaches, what activities can you make sure you have in your diary?
For this week’s BID Spotlight we’re taking our pick of the city centre fun.
Sing-along cinema and new rooftop bar at Phoenix
Something for the adults AND little ones, this weekend sees Phoenix kick off their sing-along season, with classics including Frozen and The Greatest Showman. It also gives you the perfect excuse to go and visit their brand spanking new rooftop bar, Nest, which opens on Friday 26 May at 4pm.
42nd Street at Curve
It’s all glitz and glamour at Curve over bank holiday as their smash hit production of 42nd Street is on stage there until 3 June. With rave reviews you won’t want to miss out on this all-singing, all-dancing masterpiece. Remaining tickets are on sale via the Curve website.
Survival Sunday at Sixes
It’s a huge weekend for Leicester City as they bid to stay in the Premier League next season. If you’re wondering where to catch the game, why not tie it in with some time on the nets and a bite to eat at Sixes. Sixes are now showing live sport across the venue and they’ll have all the action from Leicester City v West Ham for all the family to enjoy. (P.S. If you’re going to the match you can also show your ticket at Sixes to enjoy a burger and a beer for just £12.50 pre or post-match.)
Garden Party at The Tree
The Get Down Bank Holiday Garden Party hits The Tree on Sunday evening. See May out in style with DJs in their newly refurbished garden on High Street. Enjoy a mix of Hip Hop, Funk, R&B and dance hits, along with Happy Hour from 5pm – 8pm and promotional offers all night long.
Punk, Rage & Revolution
Launching this weekend, don’t miss the fantastic Punk, Rage & Revolution exhibition at Leicester Museum on New Walk. The Exhibition tells the story of the 1970’s UK punk scene through objects, information panels and ephemera, including the first retrospective of original clothing from the late Dame Vivienne Westwood. The exhibition also includes artwork from Jamie Reid, the artist behind the iconic Sex Pistols cover designs. Free entry.
Jazz at The Bottle Garden
Soak up the sun in St Martin’s Square and enjoy your bonus relaxing Sunday. The Bottle Garden will be hosting Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon so you can soak up the tunes whilst enjoy some tasty cocktails.
Extended Bottomless Brunch at Middletons
Did you know that bottomless brunch is available every day of the week at Middleton’s AND you can enjoy it until 10pm Sunday – Friday. Yes, the last sitting for brunching is at 8pm, taking you through to 10pm with 2 hours of free flowing drinks. Choose from MIddletons favourites including burgers, steak, loaded dogs and more, along with your choice of Prosecco, beer or cocktails. Book via the Middletons website.
