Leicester is home to two Host student accommodation locations, The Glassworks on Newarke Street and our brand-spanking-new building 41 Castle Street on you guessed it Castle Street. As a student city that prides itself on its diversity, Leicester really is a melting pot of cultural influences. And while it might be rich in history – not least as the burial ground of King Richard III – it’s a place with a firm eye on the future.
So, what’s there to see and to do for students at De Montfort and Leicester universities? We asked those who know best. Our Property Managers Abby & Dan. Before the lockdown they sat down together and shortlisted the must-see, must-do things in their City.
Being active isn’t always about going to the gym. Abby and Dan, found five fun activities that’ll help you get fit and won’t break the bank while living with Host in Leicester.
