What's On in Leicester
Thursday 29 October 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Leicester is pulling on its finest sequins and sharpest fangs this Thursday, because the city has something thrillingly theatrical in store whether you're heading out at dusk or dancing until the early hours. Halloween weekend kicks off in style with glittering showbiz glamour at De Montfort Hall and two massive club nights that promise to turn Gravel Street into the most wonderfully unhinged corner of the East Midlands. Whatever your idea of a perfect October evening looks like, the city has you covered.
Highlights
The Legends - Vegas: After Hours — De Montfort Hall rolls out the red carpet for an evening of pure Las Vegas spectacle, with world-class tribute performers channelling the golden age of showbiz in one of Leicester's most beloved and acoustically stunning venues. Think rhinestones, big voices, and the kind of larger-than-life entertainment that makes you feel like you've been whisked straight to the Strip — all without leaving the city. Doors open at 7:30pm, and prices are worth checking directly on the website to secure your seat before they go.
Halloween In Leicester - Nightmare in Gravel Street — Club Republic transforms into something genuinely spine-tingling for Halloween, with Nightmare in Gravel Street promising an immersive, darkly atmospheric club experience that goes well beyond a few plastic cobwebs. Expect serious production, a crowd dressed to terrify, and a night of music that keeps the dancefloor heaving from 10:00pm right through to the witching hours. Tickets are priced between £10 and £20, so grab yours early before this sell-out haunt fills up.
Party And Bullshxt - 3000+ Ravers This Halloween — If you want to spend Halloween surrounded by three thousand like-minded souls losing themselves in a sea of sound and costume chaos, this is the one — Party And Bullshxt at Club Republic is one of the most talked-about Halloween raves in the region, and the numbers speak for themselves. Also kicking off at 10:00pm on Gravel Street, it runs alongside Nightmare in Gravel Street to make this stretch of Leicester genuinely unmissable tonight. With tickets starting at just £3 and topping out at £20, the barrier to entry is refreshingly low for something this big.
