The Christmas build up may seem a little different this year but it’s creeping up on us quickly.
Throughout November we’re looking at ways you can support the city centre during lockdown and shopping local for Christmas is definitely a great way to start. As part of our BID Spotlight series, over the next 2 weeks we’ll be looking at where you can get the best Christmas treats from as you start planning the family’s Christmas stockings.
Leicester Simulations
A brilliant treat for dad, friends or siblings, Leicester Simulations is based on Cank Street and houses incredible Formula 1 racing and Spitfire flying simulators. With top level technology this is as close as many may get, and as you climb into the cockpit of the Spitfire ready to shoot down enemy plans, you’ll soon forget you’re actually just in the middle of town! Check out our review of the experience HERE. Leicester Simulations have gift vouchers available to buy, or you could even book in for a Christmas treat. Check out the website for full details.
Wellgosh
Black Friday has started early at Wellgosh online. You might not be able to get to the High Street shop at the moment but you can grab some bargains for yourself or someone special via their website. Wellgosh has been keeping Leicester fashionable for years now and there’s nowhere better locally for getting the latest trainers and limited releases from Adidas, Nike and more. They’ve also got the exclusive launch of the Admiral Sporting Goods Co. Leicester inspired clothing range. Shop online via the Wellgosh website.
