If you are a resident in Leicester or someone planning to visit the city, there is no better way to know what’s happening, when it’s happening and where than to search it up.
Now that the sun is coming out even more in the UK and warmer days are ahead, you can start planning your next family day out using our recommended list of 3 sites you can visit and follow-on social media.
- Cool As Leicester
Cool As Leicester is one of the largest online magazines in Leicester. Also named ‘Your go to Leicester Guide’, the magazine provides insightful and entertaining articles on the latest news, events, entertainment, competitions and offers in the city.
You can click the food and drink section to find out which restaurants and bars are trending hot topics and the city favourites.
Better yet if you are jealous of the numerous people who have been going on holidays since the lockdown ended, then fly over to the travel section and start daydreaming about glamping with Alpacas.
With the perfect mix of Leicester pride and tourist content, it is an inclusive publication. Fit for everyone as it provides ideas of what you can do with your family, spouse and friends too. That is why it marks our number one Leicester media platform to visit and follow. You can check out their Instagram for quicker updates on all things Leicester @coolasleicester
