About this venue
King Power stadion is a modern football venue in Leicester, known for its compact bowl-style design that keeps spectators close to the pitch. Opened in 2002, it offers around 32,259 all-seated places, creating a big-match feel whether you’re coming for a fixture or a major live event.
Inside, the focus is on clear sightlines and an intimate atmosphere, with stands that amplify crowd noise and pull you into the action. Fans often highlight comfortable seating, strong acoustics, and a solid range of matchday amenities – from food and drink kiosks to straightforward wayfinding that helps even when the concourses get busy.
The stadium sits at Filbert Wy, Leicester, United Kingdom. If you’re driving, there are nearby parking options (including the Filbert Street car park), and arriving early makes entry smoother as stewards direct you toward the right turnstiles. If you’re coming by rail, Leicester railway station is roughly 1.2 miles away, making a quick taxi ride or a walk to the entrances very doable.

About the city: Leicester
Leicester, a lively city in the heart of England’s Midlands, is not only a place with a rich industrial and sporting heritage, but also one of the most appealing destinations for top-tier events. The city carries the energy of a student hub, a diverse cultural scene, and an atmosphere you can feel from the very first visit. Whether you’re coming for a major concert or a high-stakes sporting clash, Leicester offers a great balance between urban buzz and a relaxed pace, alongside a practical mix of bars, restaurants, and accommodation options.
A major advantage is how easy it is to get around: the city relies on an efficient local bus network, including operators such as Arriva and First Bus, and it becomes even simpler thanks to Park and Ride services from Birstall (A6), Enderby (B4114) and Meynell’s Gorse (A47). For rail travel, Leicester railway station is the key hub with strong links to major UK cities, making it easy to plan your arrival without stress. If you’re flying in, the most common choice is East Midlands Airport (EMA), while Birmingham Airport is a solid alternative for a wider range of flights—either way, onward travel into the city is straightforward to arrange.
Once you’re in Leicester, use the time before or after the event for a walk through Old Town and the Cathedral Quarter, home to the King Richard III Visitor Centre and Leicester Cathedral, with the historic Guildhall close by. For a calmer pace, stroll the well-known New Walk promenade, drop by the central Clock Tower, or find a quieter corner along the River Soar and Castle Gardens. That blend of a great event and an easy city walk is exactly what makes Leicester a memorable choice.
