Welcome to Everards Meadows!

Explore 70 acres of open green space made for great days out.

Meet up with friends, bring the family and explore scenic walking and cycling routes linking to Route 6, the Grand Union Canal and the River Soar. Everards Meadows offers the perfect starting point for heading into Leicester or out into the Leicestershire countryside. If you fancy exploring further, Blaby District Council’s Heritage Walks include Route Eleven, which takes in Everards Meadows and the surrounding villages, a great way to discover more of the local area.

You can even hire a bike from Specialized, who have a cycle store here on site.

After your adventure, rest and refuel in our Beer Hall, grab a coffee at Jenno’s, or pop into our on-site shop to take your favourite Everards beers home with you.

Just a stone’s throw from Fosse Shopping Park, it’s the perfect place to pause and relax after a spot of shopping.

We host plenty of events throughout the year, especially in summer, so be sure to follow us on social media to see what’s coming up.
