About this Event
Group Walk - War & Peace 3
Wednesday 11 November, 2pm
Around 90 minutes, with information stops.
1.5 miles (2.4km). Steady pace.
Meeting in Town Hall Square, off Horsefair Street.
New for autumn 2026. Commemorating Armistice Day, this is the third* in a series of 'War & Peace' themed walks. Join us to visit buildings and memorials in Leicester associated with wartime, and hear new stories of some of the local servicemen who played their part as well as broader historical information about the places we visit. A few locations have featured on our other walks but the stories presented this time are new to this walk.
*We presented the first two themed walks in previous years: War & Peace in Modern Times, and War & Peace - People and Places associated with WWI.
