About the King Richard III Visitor Centre

After the discovery of remains in the car park back in 2012, the visitor centre was built to tell the remarkable search for, and then subsequent discovery, of King Richard III. 

The exhibition gives visitors the chance to learn more about the King’s life and death including one of the greatest archaeological detective stories every told. Groups can see the exact spot where Richard III’s remains were buried and understand the significant events that led to his hasty burial and eventual rediscovery. 

Groups of 15 or more receive discounted admission rates, a personal welcome by a member of the team as well as free entry for the tour leader and coach driver. There are also special rates for pre-booked refreshments in the White Boar Café as well as guided tours. 

The team can also arrange for groups to visit Leicester’s medieval Guildhall which is a minute’s walk from the King Richard III Visitor Centre.
