The Museum of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment preserves the history of one of England’s historic county infantry regiments, whose story stretches back centuries. Also known as the Royal Leicestershire Regiment Museum, it holds collections of uniforms, medals, weapons, photographs, and personal artefacts that trace the regiment’s service across numerous conflicts and campaigns. The museum gives visitors a direct connection to the soldiers who represented Leicestershire from the local community through to global theatres of war.
Visiting the Museum
The museum is located in Leicester and can be reached via the city’s road network and public transport links. Those planning a visit can use the regimental website at royalleicestershireregiment.org.uk for up-to-date information on opening hours, access arrangements, and the museum’s position within its building. The collection is maintained as a dedicated tribute to those who served under the regiment’s colours, and it draws both family historians tracing military ancestry and those with a broader interest in British Army history.
