King Richard III Visitor Centre

Located in the heart of historic Leicester, the award-winning King Richard III Visitor Centre offers groups an unforgettable journey into the life, death, and rediscovery of one of England's most fascinating monarchs. Built on the exact site where Richard III's remains were discovered in 2012, the visitor centre combines immersive storytelling, atmospheric displays, and groundbreaking scientific evidence to reveal the dramatic story of the last Plantagenet king.

From his rise to the throne and death at the Battle of Bosworth to the extraordinary archaeological dig beneath a Leicester car park, the experience brings over 500 years of history vividly to life.

Ideal for coach tours, educational groups, and heritage societies, the exhibition explores Richard III's enduring legacy through interactive galleries and engaging interpretation. Visitors can also discover how modern forensic techniques and DNA analysis confirmed the identity of the king and the first English monarch to undergo DNA testing.
