Brilliant experience that I was given as a gift... Mick, our expert in the FV 432, was clear and knowledgeable and funny! Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn, driving the actual tank round a very muddy track, and firing the huge paintball gun to top it off!!

Ape Index

Ape Index is an indoor bouldering, ninja warrior and obstacle race gym. We have a large bouldering wall and many ninja warrior and obstacle race obstacles and climbing training aids. We offer a training environment for children, beginners and supermen. There is something to pull every muscle in every direction and under every duress imaginable. You can learn to balance, swing, jump. You will get stronger, more supple, more agile and more aware. You can build strength, and not just specific single plane pushing or pulling strength, but overall strength from your toes to your head, pushing, pulling and gripping. You can develop power, not lifting power, but explosive pulling and jumping power. Then you can work your strength endurance on the pegboard or power endurance on the salmon ladder, or overall endurance by running through the obstacle courses.

We have just had our sons 8th birthday party at Ape Index. Where he also had his 7th birthday! Both times the experience has been brilliant from start to finish. Both Alex and Nigel are friendly and laid back which makes the whole experience really rather pleasant! The party offers great value for money compared to many more obvious venue choices. Nigel was endlessly patient with the 18 excitable 7/8 year olds and managed to control them without ever being cross. The kids all really enjoyed it. You get as much free time to play afterwards as you want, which is fantastic. Overall a brilliant birthday party at a great venue.

Haunted Antiques Paranormal Research Center

do you have an interest in the paranormal? Do you believe objects can hold energy? Would you like to do an investigation? Do you like antiques? Do you have any spooky stories to share?? Visit the Research Center and enjoy some time with like minded friends.

Reviewed By KnockOnceForYes

This place is a absolute treasure trove for anyone with an interest in the paranormal! When we arrived we were warmly greeted and immediately made to feel at home before being given a fascinating tour of the rooms and objects by a knowledgeable team member. This isn't a dusty museum where the artefacts are locked away, we were encouraged to handle and interact with the items and feed back any experiences we had with them so the team could add it to their research, and we certainly had some things to report! We also loved being able to sit and have a cuppa and a chat in the tea room with like minded people about everything spooky and strange. If you are interested in the paranormal we highly recommend a visit - you won't be disappointed!

Leicester Guildhall

Leicester is privileged to have one of the best-preserved timber framed halls in the country dating back 600 years. The Guildhall is a historic building and the oldest building still in use in the city. It was Leicester’s first police station and between 1876 and the 1900’s and saw many unsavoury characters pass through its doors. The Great Hall itself was built in about 1390 as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi (a small but powerful group of businessmen and gentry) and it’s also believed that Shakespeare performed here during Tudor times. Today, the Guildhall is best known as an excellent performance venue, attracting acts from across the country. It’s also known as a museum where visitors can step back in time and come face to face with Crankie Gemmie and Emma Smith, two of Leicester's notorious pick-pockets who can be found lurking in the Victorian police cells. The museum is also home to the Medieval Leicester galleries and The White Rose Cafe.

This guildhall was interesting and had many original features from the time of use. The mayor's room was amazing. The little signs regarding not touching anything were even very funny. This was a free admission and even had activity sheets for children to add it. The old hall was lovely too and to think it was in use until the 20s shows the longterm use of the building. Fantastic little museum.

What a wonderful museum. It is packed full of exhibits including, dinosaurs, natural history, Egyptian artefacts, arts and crafts, ceramics, Victorian art. My favourite was the exhibition of children’s clothes. They were so intricately made with fine needlework and stitching. Children would enjoy going through the tunnels in the wild life section. So did I!
