Next week on the 21st October, we bring internationally acclaimed composer and virtuoso cellist Jo Quail to Leicester.

For those that aren’t aware, Jo draws on many influences such as contemporary classical, metal, avant-garde, and experimental music to create very immersive and powerful compositions

We also have support from Harmonium based dark folk project Greet, who will be making their Leicester debut!

We had Jo in Leicester last year and for those that came down will know what an incredible performance it was, over half the tickets are gone for what will be a very incredible evening.

Hi

Any recommendations for a nice swanky pub to take the Gf on a Thursday lunchtime in nw/n Leicestershire?
Was thinking country pub Gastro pub vibes 😆

I have an appointment in Coalville in the morning then heading back to Leicester.
So out that way but happy to deviate for something special

Cheers

Ive joined this group. Really useful gor things in south Leicestershire

Hey everybody,

I am looking to take around 10 sessions of full body laser treatment + intimate area pubis.

Where should i go with a good deal and skilled technician?

My skin tone is slightly pale, any device works on my skin or should i look into a specific device to get the best results.

And lastly, is 10 sessions enough? As i want to get tatoo, i can't do laser on it so i want to see if 10 sessiins gonna last me like decades or not

Thank you for yor insight!

I live in Mallorca (Originally from Leicester)

This was in the supermarket here in Spain.

I can see what they were going for.

I mean, if they had spelt it "Lesta" they may have got away with it!

(Translation on the pack by the way is orange cheese)

Interestingly, it has a union jack on it and the back says made in Barcelona!

Hi everybody, currently looking for some sort of part time job. Honestly speaking don’t have any experience so this would be my first job but I am willing to learn the skills and do what I have to. If anyone knows places hiring for part time availability or anything of that sort drop down a reply.
I’m 18 currently full time in college, so part time will be ideal for me.

Hi everyone. I passed my test on 07/10 and last night I was driving abbey lane. I was on the side going into town and the lights turned amber going past the stop line and red as I went through the lights, I was doing 30 but there were cars behind me and I didn’t think I could stop safely. I didn’t get flashed but I am worried that there is a red light camera on that side. And then like 4 hours later I was coming back up st Margaret’s way and I went through the lights on amber. Am I going to get tickets for it?

Anywhere good to eat in Leicester (ideally near DMU) that has good student deals/ offers?

Like the title say's im looking for people or places that sell second-hand blurays. I already know of CEX and a couple charity shops though knowing more would be extremely helpful for me with my hunting.

If anyone knows any people or sellers and all of that stuff please let me know would help a lot.

I pass by there regularly, and several times I've stopped to check out the flyers.

What's it like there? chilled out vibe?

Really want to visit there at some point, i'm M43, so kinda old now lol.

Need to socialise a bit more.

​

​Genuinely losing my mind here and need to know if I'm missing some secret local knowledge or if we're all just trapped in a shared psychological torture experiment.

​I commute daily from Oadby heading out towards the M1/M69 towards Birmingham, or up towards Derby/Chesterfield, and trying to get past the Fosse Park / Soar Valley Way / Meridian stretch at 7:00 AM or 5:00 PM feels like an absolute trap.

​A route that should take 50 minutes routinely gets bloated to 1 hour 30 on a decent day, and a soul-crushing 2 hours when things go sideways. I've tried delaying leaving work, thinking I could wait it out, but even if I roll out at 7:00 PM, it's still bumper-to-bumper blockages right around there.

​I’ve only lived in Leicester for about 7 years now, so I have to ask the long-timers: Has it always been this relentlessly awful? How far back in the past does this gridlock go? And more importantly, is there actually any infrastructure plan on the horizon to fix it, or are we just destined to watch our fuel gauges/ will to live empty while staring at the back of a lorry forever?

​If anyone has alternate rat-runs or clever workarounds bypassing the south-west side from Oadby without adding 30 miles to the trip, I am all ears. I can't move as I live with my partner and can't afford my own place.

There's quite a bit going on in the coming weeks https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/leicesters-packed-autumn-line-up-2026/

Hi, I am moving to a new flat and have been told that their car park has a waiting list so advised to park at Highcross which is £5 all day. However having looked at the website it isn't actually £5 for 24hrs, it's only for 12hrs and I'd have to either move the car or pay £10 for 24hrs...I also can't come in and out as I please as the charges reset. This is really expensive so trying to figure out if there are alternatives. Please can someone advise?

Anyone know what the event on Victoria Park today, Saturday.

Pretty much the title. Looking for those who work on commission based models.

Hello again, first of all Im extremely grateful to all the many helpful answers to my last question about public transport. Wonderful people on here. My next questions is about sports studios with week passes or daily fees.

Im a visitor from Germany and will stay in Leicester for around 5 days, I workout a lot and should definitely continue my routine. Are there any sports studios that offer some kind of week pass, pre paid ticket or a daily charge system? I definitely cant afford to get an entire month membership for just these few days and will probably forget to cancel afterwards. If the studio is on the outskirts thats also fine.

I already looked online but once again the informations were more than scarce

Hi, I live in the city centre near the clock tower and have just bought my first car. I was wondering if anyone knows of any nearby streets where you can park for free overnight, how much monthly parking costs at nearby car parks (as it’s a nightmare getting in contact with parking companies), or if anyone is renting out a residential parking space.

I’m willing to walk up to 15 minutes to get to my car, as I know parking is limited in town. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you! 😊
