A Historic Event

Your event will go down in history at the site of the most incredible archaeological detective story ever told.

Ten years ago, history enthusiasts everywhere were shaking their heads in disbelief as the long-lost body of one of England’s most infamous former monarchs – King Richard III – was uncovered buried underneath a car park in Leicester. The King Richard III Visitor Centre was built on that site and details the amazing journey which led to the discovery.

Wow your delegates by inviting them to visit King Richard III’s burial site preserved within a 2023 History Museum of the Year award-winning memorial building with a glass floor for viewing. They can immerse themselves in the beautiful storytelling told through cutting-edge interactives and displays detailing research and the science behind his rediscovery. Including a completely new digital reconstruction of the monarch’s burial site and how it has changed over half a millennium.

Conference Day Delegate rates are from £30pp and Half Day Delegate rates are from £20pp. This includes free admission to the exhibition about Richard’s life, death and one of the greatest archaeological detective stories ever told.

These rates allow hire of the King’s Suite, the grand meeting space which has the capacity to hold 80 people theatre style, 56 classroom style and 32 boardroom style, with a minimum requirement of 20 delegates. The room is pre-fitted with audio-visual equipment, and packages also include conference pads and pencils, refreshments, and snacks upon arrival, with lunch or mid-afternoon break supplied by the award-winning King Richard III White

Turn back the clock and enhance the experience with a medieval banquet. Featuring potage of split pea, roast thyme chicken, and cinnamon apple crumble, your delegates will be transported to another time filled with court jesters and nobility. Even better, those willing can get involved in some medieval merrymaking of their own, with traditional singing and dancing to round

The centre’s experienced team can even arrange bespoke events specific to your requirements. In the past these have included three-course dinners in King’s Suite, waiting served canapés throughout the exhibition, film screenings, chocolate making, cocktail lessons, gin tasting, book launches, Annual General Meetings, Medieval armour dress up, historic medicine demonstrations, charity events, private parties, and tours of the exhibition. Tours are a great way to give your delegates an in-depth and fact-filled look at the site’s rich history. Whether you are looking for a deep insight into the life, death, and incredible rediscovery of King Richard III or want an exclusive experience of the of the exhibition and a word from the centre’s experts, the team can arrange times to suit your requirements and itinerary. Tours are available for a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 60 guests, from £12.50 per person.

And with brand new children’s activities such as the Rex Factor: Lost In Time digital game being added soon your delegates can come back again with the family!
