So impressed with progress of the Leicester Cathedral Revealed Project. Was amazing to spend time with the team and hear what’s been found in the grounds by University of Leicester Archaeological Services including this Roman coin from 320 AD and over 800 burials from 12th century onwards!
Fantastic news. We love Attenborough Arts Centre and the difference it makes to our city, culture, and creative learning.
Are you going to Leicester's biggest bonfire and fireworks party at Abbey Park with Gem Radio 📻🎶's Jo and Sparky tomorrow? There'll be live entertainment, a funfair, and hot food!

Happy Birthday, Jeff Hoffman! 👨🏻🚀
In 1993, NASA astronaut and University of Leicester Visiting Professor, Jeff Hoffman, was sent up as part of the STS-61 Space Shuttle mission to make vital repairs to NASAHubble. In 2001 he cut the ribbon as we opened National Space Centre to the public.
This is mind blowing and amazing! 🤯 Proud that Physics&AstronomyUoL colleagues have played a role in helping make this happen 😊
🗓️ #OnThisDay 22 years ago the Expedition 1 crew, NASA astronaut Bill Shepherd and Cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev, became the first crew on the International Space Station.
🌍 If you're under the age of 22 there have always been humans living outside of our atmosphere.
