From confused Roman Centurions and mischievous monks to Viking kings, a ghostly radio DJ and even watchful eyeballs in shop windows – eight cheeky spirits are haunting the city centre.
Each ghostly encounter reveals a hidden story, conjured through theatrical illusion, creative tech and a dash of mischief. Expect talking reflections, flickering holograms and strange silhouettes where you least expect them. Some ghosts appear during the day, others after dark – so there’s always more to discover.
Presented by BID Leicester. Created by award-winning arts organisation MBD with Mr Cleaver’s Monsters, supported by Leicester City Council.
Find them all between 20 October to 2 November!
Perfect for families and curious explorers, the trail is free to follow at your own pace. Whether you’re planning a half-term adventure or simply wandering the city after dark, Leicester’s streets are full of surprises.
After ghostly goings-on, sink your teeth into some frightfully tasty offers with Leicester Restaurant Week running alongside the trail! Find out more about Leicester Restaurant Week here.
