A beautiful cathedral with friendly staff warm welcoming. Is the home of the burial place of Richard III with it's beautiful tasteful and elegant tomb. There is no gift shop but booklets are available daily services are held a and anyone can participate. Visitors can look around and enjoy the windows, monuments and carvings. Go early if you want unrestricted view of the kings tomb as it does get very busy. Although a cathedral it is smaller than most as originally it was a parish church and only in more recent years been designate a cathedral. Some admissions may be refused if services are taking place for wandering visitors or special services. Laminate visitor information cards are available and the staff ready to help answer any questions you may have.

Great cathedral to visit if you are in the area. Easy to get to, lots of history in there. Surrounding grounds are nice too. Place to relax inside and out while learning a lot too. Recommended if you are passing by or in the city.

Set in the quiet heart of the city, with an elegant public plaza at the south door. We enjoyed a very good youth choir at evensong. In fact, a lovely service in all respects. The new focus for the cathedral, and indeed for the whole city, is around the newly found link with the last of the Plantagenets. The dramatic statue, heroically capturing those critical moments at Bosworth, where Richard became the last British monarch to die on the battlefield. The monument in the choir, before the high altar, has created a pivotal refocus for worship in the building. It is very elegant and dignified

One of the most beautiful Cathedral in Leicester. It was built in between the year 1086- 1867. Its an Catholic Church.

Still closed for construction after one year and should open in 2024. So disappointed not to be able to visit the inside. But the staff was nice as they are now in the centre next door and still gave me a stamp for the pilgrim passport
