Diverse, affordable, and better connected than you'd think

Leicester is one of the most diverse cities in the UK, and that richness runs through everything: the food, the festivals, the baby groups. It's affordable, it's got good green space in Abbey Park and the riverside, and the family suburbs like Oadby and Clarendon Park have a settled, community feel. The National Space Centre on the edge of town is a genuine draw. It's a city that gets on with things without a lot of fuss.

Abbey Park is the big family space. Playground, river walks, and the ruins of the abbey. The National Space Centre does toddler mornings and they're popular, so book ahead. Bradgate Park is technically just outside Leicester but every local family treats it as their own. Deer, rocks, and a ruined house keep kids entertained for hours. Stoneygate and Clarendon Park have good clusters of baby groups and independent cafes. The Curve theatre in town runs children's shows, and New Walk Museum is free with a dinosaur gallery that toddlers fixate on.
