27 members enjoyed an excellent coach trip to Leicester Cathedral on the afternoon of Thursday 3rd October 2024. We were welcomed by a friendly team, who served us tea, coffee and cakes before our guided visit of the cathedral. Our guides provided an interesting insight to the cathedral’s history and some of the remarkable artefacts on display. Click here to view a few photos taken on our visit.
Our second visit for 2024 was an afternoon walking tour of the attractive town of Burbage, near Hinckley on 4th July. Hosted by the Burbage Heritage Group, 18 of us enjoyed learning about the history, stories and characters from the town’s past and seeing a variety of architectural styles.
