Parking: There is plenty of car parking on site. You can enter the main car park through the rising arm barriers where you will be greeted by security. There will also be staff and volunteers on site to help guide you.
Bus: Several bus services run from Leicester city centre to King Power Stadium, stopping on Aylestone Road, which is a five-minute walk from King Power Stadium. Most buses in Leicester are low floor vehicles, meaning they can be lowered to pavement level once the bus has stopped. Buses all include wheelchair spaces.
On arrival: Please head to the Media Entrance (number 5) at King Power Stadium where there will be a staff member waiting on the main desk to greet you and support you to sign in.
Time: The festival starts at 11am (doors open at 10:40am) and finishes at 3pm. You are welcome to stay for all, or part of the day, whatever is comfortable.
I want to go on the free tour of the Stadium: The tour is taking place at 2pm. Please come to the main bar in the Keith Weller Lounge and one of the Leicester City in the Community Staff members will be facilitating the tour.
