Overview
Leicester earned a burst of global attention in 2012 when King Richard III's skeleton was discovered beneath a city centre car park, and the visitor centre built around that site now draws school and history groups from across the country, alongside the unrelated but equally popular National Space Centre just north of the city, home to the UK's largest planetarium dome. We arrange coach and minibus hire for school parties visiting both attractions, corporate groups travelling to meetings in the centre, and family bookings exploring one of England's most ethnically diverse cities. Leicester sits roughly 100 miles north of London, around a 1 hour 45 minute drive, and is close to Nottingham, Coventry and Derby for groups building a wider East Midlands tour. Our drivers know the routes between the Space Centre, the cathedral quarter and the King Richard III centre, useful given how spread these sites are across the city.
Leicester, England draws group visitors for everything from corporate conferences and trade shows to school field trips, wedding celebrations, and sporting events. Below are the venues and landmarks our groups visit most often — each one a regular stop on our Leicester routes.

Leicester has several large events throughout the year — concerts, sporting fixtures, and conferences — that create significant demand for coach hire on peak dates. We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead for any event date, and 4–6 weeks ahead for major events like cup finals, graduation ceremonies, or national conferences. For regular shuttles (e.g. daily staff transport), ask about our recurring booking discount.
