Very important part of our country's history and heritage. A well set out walk around the old Battlefield with interesting and informative stands along the route.
The visitors centre tops it off with stories and artifacts from the battle.
Pleasant and well informed staff made the visit complete.
Highly recommended.

Lovely visitors centre but unfortunately could not look in the museum as no dogs allowed. Parking was £2.50 for the whole day. Museum entrance was 8.50 pp. The surrounding countryside is beautiful but there is very little to see relating to the battle. The information points along the way were small and many not too easy to read. It looked as if there was once an audio facility but nothing there now. One display board seemed to indicate that this not the site of the battle at all but that it was some distance away at Dadlington?
I would think the best experience would be to attend when the re enactment event is on (August I think). The tithe barn restaurant is very dramatic and very reasonably priced with friendly welcoming staff.

Fantastic place with plenty of walks as well as othe attractions around the area. I would HIGHLY recommend an early start to get a full day out of it

The heritage centre is fantastic value for money and the staff are very friendly and passionate about the history.

As for the price of the car park !?! £2.50 for all day !!! This is probably the best price I've paid for all day parking for a long time.

I won't post photos of the actual inside as pictures won't really do it justice IMHO.

It was AMAZING!! We attended the Re-enactment Weekend. (We therefore didn't spend a great deal of time doing permanent activities, as we were going to the event arenas for most of the time we were there!! But we were impressed enough by what we DID find time to see that we are planning a visit on a "normal day" to look around properly at the permanent activities.)
It was fun and informative. The commentaries for the displays were informative and absolutely hilarious.
The staff are knowledgeable and adaptive (able to explain/answer questions of a wide range of ages/abilities without being condescending (I've been to some other tourist attractions where staff stick to their spiel, with no adaptation for their audience at all!!). Not just 1 especially good member of staff, but EVERY member of staff I heard speak was adaptable.).
Everyone was approachable, friendly and seemed genuinely happy to work there. A really lovely atmosphere.
We cannot wait to go back to see all the "normal" (rather than special event) activities!! (If we hadn't already got seaside plans, it would be this weekend, tbh!!🤣)

Great if you like you are interested in the war of the rose's plenty of information about the battle and the discovery of the battlefield. Staff are really helpful and friendly very well presented. Our kids and the adults lol enjoyed trying on the armour a bit of something for everyone.

Great experience albeit the actual battlefield is on Fenn Lanes. Unfortunately we had a rather active 3yr old some didn't get chance to take in some of the displays etc.
Even more poignant now Richard has been discovered and is in tombed in the local cathedral In Leicester.

Parking and entry fees not to bad.

Great visitors center , with lots to see as you walk around, and thigs to try on.

The battlefield itself could do with more information, as others have said the best experience would be to attend when the re enactment event is on in August but the prices are higher and would be best to pre book.

The tithe barn restaurant is fair priced.

A most enjoyable area to visit. Museum was closed due to Christmas hours same as Cafe. Nice walking area next to the canal and woodland leading to a running steam train.
