About this Event
Group Walk - A short walk along Belgrave Gate in Leicester
Saturday 21 February at 11am
Starting outside Haymarket bus station - Belgrave Gate entrance
Between 75-90 minutes, steady pace. (1.3 miles)
A short walk along Belgrave Gate, discovering former public buildings of the 19th and 20th century - some repurposed and others long gone. The walk includes theatres, cinemas, churches and the former Belgrave railway station. This is a different route to the 'City Centre to Belgrave Road heritage walk' offered in 2024 (they do have two information stops in common, but the rest are different!). The walk is free to attend but places must be booked. Information about the pace of our walks and much more can be found on our Leicester City Council Group Walks page.
