We are a unique venue, perfect for a wide range of events.
Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, a performance or a creative workshop, we offer flexible spaces that can cater to your needs. An ideal location to host an event that leaves a lasting impression, let us help bring your vision to life.
We’re open every day of the week throughout the year, except during University of Leicester holiday periods (usually Bank Holidays, Easter, and Christmas/New Year). Our usual opening hours are 9am on weekdays and 10am on weekends, with closing times ranging from 5pm to 9pm, depending on the schedule. Our café is also open daily, though its hours may vary.
