King Power Stadium

The home of Leicester City Football Club sits on the eastern edge of Leicester itself, a proper modern stadium that's only about fifteen years old. If you're here during a match day, the atmosphere is electric - the place holds over 32,000 and the fans are genuinely passionate. You'll see the famous blue of Leicester City everywhere, and if you time it right, you can watch Premier League football at its finest.

Non-match days offer stadium tours, which take you round the pitch, through the dressing rooms, and into the press areas. It's the kind of thing that appeals most to serious football fans and kids obsessed with the sport - casual visitors might find it a bit thin on the ground. The whole experience takes about ninety minutes.

Matches during the season are the main draw here. Tickets aren't cheap, and availability depends entirely on the fixture list, but if you're a football enthusiast visiting Leicestershire, catching a game is genuinely worth planning around. The stadium is well-connected and easy to reach from the town centre.

If you're caravan-based at Green Acres or Bradgate Park nearby, King Power works well as an afternoon or evening outing if there's a fixture on. Otherwise, save your time for Bradgate Park itself, which offers far more for a general family holiday - the stadium tour alone won't justify a special trip unless you're a die-hard football fan.
