Exploring journeys, migration and the world around us.

This July, Journeys Festival International festival brings the people of Leicester together with artists from around the world to explore big ideas and create exciting experiences. The streets will be filled with marvellous outdoor shows for everybody to enjoy.

Join sea giant Eko roaming the streets, discover a blend of virtual reality with live performance and experience an urban safari as we take over the city centre for an excellent weekend of free creative and cultural activity.
