Visiting Bradgate Park Visitor Centre Visitor Centre NOTE: Our Visitor Centre will now be open each weekend 11am - 4pm with limited numbers to comply with current guidance. Due to demand we will also continue in having our shop in the Visitor Centre. Our Visitor Centre will also be open Bank Holiday Monday 31st May 2021 and all of that week as its school holidays. The Visitor Centre opened Summer 2016, following a redevelopment made possible as part of the Rotary Club of Leicester's centenary and grants from a number of local trusts and foundations. The official opening was performed by Sir David Attenborough, a life-long visitor to Bradgate Park. There is no entry charge and the family friendly displays and information tell the stories of the Park, its origins, its history, its geology and the wildlife that live in and visit the Park. There are opportunities to have a close-up encounter with wildlife, hear from Lady Jane Grey about her story and learn how a nearby volcano created the Bradgate Park landscape. The displays include artefacts, as well as plenty of background to the heritage of the Park and the people that have played a part in the history of the Estate. It opens daily with seasonal closing times (please visit the opening hours page for details). The Visitor Centre is supported by many knowledgeable Visitor Experience Volunteers who will answer questions, guide you around the Centre and help you get the most out of your visit to the Park. The Visitor Centre is also a hub for information about the Park's activities and events. It is also an outlet for venison sales and ice cream
