Need help to find somewhere nice to go?

Your time is precious so how can we help you make the most of it?

As part of the National Forest this area offers gentle activities, like walking and cycling along trails that take you into beautiful tranquil parts of the countryside, which you’ll share with the local wildlife. For the thrill seekers there are more challenging activities like Tank Mania or why not try out the Ashby de la Zouch Murder Mystery Walking Trail   there's a chance to win a cash prize!

There is something for everyone, so don’t miss the dates of special events that are happening throughout the year. Folk, rock or flower festivals, country shows and quirky village events. Entertainment includes jazz nights and rock concerts, drama and theatre, and even old fashioned cinema evenings in unique venues like Century Cinema in the Century Theatre at Snibston in Coalville, a fully equipped mobile theatre, and Ibstock Palace, one of the earliest purpose-built cinemas in the country.
