High praise from High Commissioner

Back again in Leicester this weekend was the High Commissioner for Namibia who so enjoyed his last visit to the City that this time he brought with him a superbly talented group of young Namibian dancers.

They visited our National Space Centre, performed at Curve and went on to London to help celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Namibian independence. During the course of their visit the young dancers also met pupils from Forest Lodge School.

I am posting pictures of the dancers on my photo album on the Lord Mayor's website at www.leicester.gov.uk/about-leicester/lordmayorcivic/

Twin city visitors enjoy their stay

It was good to welcome to the Town Hall this week a group of young people from our twin City of Strasbourg. They were spending the week in Leicester based at Judgemeadow Community College and had also enjoyed visiting our museums and other places of interest in the city.

Needless to say, they all loved looking over our splendid nineteenth century courtroom and a visit to the cells beneath.

So a reminder that we offer Town Hall Tours open to the public free of charge at 2pm on the first Wednesday of each month – no advance booking required.
