Monkey

Monkey is a brand-new night for Leicester, and it caters for lovers of: Dance anthems (top floor) Indie anthems (ground floor), Funk, Punk, Ska, and Hip-hop (middle floor) every Friday. The main aim of Monkey is to provide you with a fun night out, somewhere you can go every week and see your friends, dance to great music, and of course, enjoy some great drinks prices.

‘How much are the drinks’ well, we understand, what with the bloody credit-crunch and all... So, for the opening night (October the 17th), any single drink is £1.50 til 1am, and then, every single Friday, it’s still £1.50 for any single drink, but til Midnight. That’s any bottle, shot, spirit, or can. Not the cheap crap, but the good stuff!

We also have some mighty-fine offers on entry prices: It’s FREE to get in before 11pm. Free all night for Students (with NUS card) Everyone else pays £4

Also, if it’s your birthday, we have something for that, too! So, here it is, your birthday is coming up, so you email us (on this email address), and we’ll let you and 5 mates in for free, and we’ll give you a bottle of bubbly to get the party rolling!

So, what else can we offer you? Well, our venue is in a safe part of town, Close to the coach station, a hotel, and several Taxi ranks (they even queue up outside for you). We’re within spitting distance of the city centre, and have several take-outs close by. We also have 10 American & English pool tables for you to use on our middle floor (everyone likes a game of pool, right?). There’s also free Wi-Fi, if that sorta thing floats your proverbial boat.

Situated on the edge of Victoria Park, the Pavilion has undergone a transformation, under its new management. Recently taken over, the Victoria Park Cafe still serves food and drinks for the visitors to the Park. At night it transforms into a live music venue, featuring bands and acoustic artists.

Performing Arts Centre CURVE

Part of the transformation of Leicester's City centre that is currently underway, is the building of the new Performing Arts Centre. Work has already started on the site in Rutland Street.

Although the centre will probably not open to the public before 2008, this is already creating considerable excitement. The new building has been designed by internationally renowned architect Rafael Vinoly.

Two auditoria situated either side of the stage area will accommodate audiences of 350 to 750 people. The stage has been placed in the centre of the building at street level. People will be able to look in from outside the building to see sets being built and other backstage activities.

The Centre is the key project in the regeneration of the Leicester Cultural Quarter.
