    A wonderful, picturesque & peaceful place to sit. I use this area to relax & reflect on some of my experiences in life. A regular place for many people to sit & I observe many families & groups enjoying this space to meet & chat.

    A lovely area of grass and benches. Was a very hot day for Leicester pride so decided to have a wander and found this pretty enclosure to sit down in. Plenty of benches to relax on during beautiful sunny weather. Fountain itself is very clean and well maintained :)

    Went here on a Sunday morning (waiting for Prana Cafe next to it to open). Beautiful square and fountain. There were plenty benches around (mainly available at 10.30am) which we sat on. A great peaceful area to get away from the busy streets.

    Love this place, the sound of the water is healing. Would be lovely to have music hours to listen to classical music at some hours as a future development of the attraction.

    So calm n friendly atmosphere. Love to sit here n watch people’s activities. A lot of stories going on if u read around. Pigeons flying around n making the atmosphere more beautiful. On top of the beautiful burning sky colours. Just amazing. Had spent couple of hours there to meditate myself. This place is always busy because of Town Hall which is located right in the middle of city.

    One of my favorite spots in the city center to spend some time with the pigeons around the fountain. It’s quite relaxing and there are a couple of benches for the visitors. If not, you can sit on the grassy area just behind the benches.

    What a fabulous find … located right outside the beautiful town hall in Leicester and to find this amazing fountain fully operational in all its glory was a real treat to any photographer such as me wo particularly shoots in black and white … pure architectural magic Rosemarie Jarvis Milliner and Photographer

    A little space in the centre of town to relax. On a nice day it's normally very crowded and noisy but it's nice to sit and watch the fountain. A great background for weddings which take place in the town hall adjacent. At Christmas time there is always a moving display and nativity scene. Also home a beautiful war memorial sculpture.

    Nice to place to sit and relax. Once you have walked around city center shopping, it is not a bad place to sit and enjoy the fountain. My children love feeding the pigeons and walking around the water fountain.

    A very beautifully designed fountain! and all around this place is quite unique and nicely looking. Town hall is located near fountain and it have it's own unique, Integrated small "Big-Ben" like (if you will)- Clock Tower :) if you guys will visit Leicester so this is the must place to visit, and it's quite old historically!

  • 3/5 Alexei Hefner (. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 22 reviews New
    It's exactly what you would expect from a small town hall square. Nicely layed out, pathways from the adjoining streets, and a nice fountain (not operational at the time of the visit). Used as a staging area for events like the Chinese/Lunar New Year celebrations.

  • 5/5 Testbe A. 2 years ago on Google
    A well-kept, lovely little park. I love the fountain and it's great that there are benches around it to have a sit and admire it. The trees and flower patches around the perimeter are always very pretty. Overall, it's a lovely location to just have a little rest and enjoy the scenery.

  • 5/5 Vikki B. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely spot to sit, eat lunch and watch the fountains. The only downside is the number of parents who allow unruly kids to chase the pigeons - kids need to be taught the importance of being kind to all beings, instead of thinking its OK to allow them to frighten the birds. If you visit here, please spare a thought for the birds, if you let your kids frighten the birds, do you also let them frighten other children?

    Leicester's handsome ornamental fountain, together with the layout of Town Hall Square, was designed by Francis Hames, the architect of Leicester's Town Hall. The fountain is constructed of bronze-painted cast iron, Shap granite & Ross of Mull granite and was made at Val d’Osne foundry in Paris, France.

    A very nice fountain, in Leicester. It is worth visiting at December time because there are many entertaining things there.

    Lovely view the birds, the sound of water flowing brings a sense of peace and tranquillity however be aware of suspicious behaviour and enjoy the rest of your summer.

  • 5/5 Dania 2 years ago on Google
    Really calm, clean and beautiful fountain. There are plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the day. Occasionally you’ll see a wedding take place, which is lovely!

  • 4/5 Mahasen B. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice place to sit down and relax at the heart of the city. Sometimes doves could be an annoyance because they are used to people feeding them at the park. There are benches around the water fountain for people to sit and watch the fountain.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth M. 11 months ago on Google

    A relaxing place to spend some relatively quiet time. Many pigeons, a beautiful fountain, surrounded by historic buildings. A good place to bring children or to take a break from a walk or a snack
