King Richard III Visitor Centre

The incredible transformation of the former Alderman Newton’s Grammar School, located right next to the spot where the king’s remains were found, was completed in record time and the King Richard III Visitor Centre opened its doors to the public in 2014.

The centre has received more than 40 awards since opening, including the 2022 Group Leisure & Travel Award for Best Museum or Gallery. Groups can immerse themselves in Richard III's life and discover the incredible story of the last English king to die in battle and the first to be DNA tested.
