This Leicestershire Police Officer is a terrible driver. 

The road has been blocked since last weekend's major fire at the wig shop, 

but the officer tried to drive on the busy pavement and gave up.

Christmas at Curve Leicester: Evita

This Christmas, Curve Theatre in Leicester is bringing back the iconic musical Evita, directed by Nikolai Foster. The show tells the story of Eva Perón, the glamorous and divisive first lady of Argentina, and her meteoric rise to fame and power.

Martha Kirby will star as Eva Perón, with Tyrone Huntley as Che, Gary Milner as Juan Perón, Chumisa Dornford-May as Perón's mistress and Dan Partridge as Magaldi. The show will also feature a large ensemble cast and an orchestra of over 20 musicians.

Evita is one of the most popular and successful musicals of all time, with classic songs such as "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "Oh What a Circus". The show is a dazzling spectacle, with lavish sets and costumes, and a powerful story that will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.

Leicester Monsters: Was a Fun and Spooky Trail for All Ages

This autumn, Leicester city centre was been transformed into a playground for giant inflatable monsters! The Leicester Monsters trail featured nine playful creatures, each with their own unique personality. Visitors could see Tentacle Terry peeking over the roof of the John Lewis department store, Nosey Bonk sniffing the air outside the Cathedral Church of St Martin, and Groaner growling at passers-by from the top of the Curve Theatre.

Pleasure Lights Litter

A iconic Leicester landmark is being restored to its former glory, after a painstaking process to bring it back to life. The Maples sign, which once stood proudly above the department store on Granby Street, has been returned to its rightful place, after being removed in the 1990s. The sign was originally installed in 1931.
