East Midlands

Diwali celebrations in Leicester

Venture across the dramatic landscape of the Peak District National park or the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds.

Look skywards to catch a glimpse of the exhilarating Red Arrows practising in their homeland skies, then go underground to hear the echoes in deep caverns and caves. 

Prefer to live it up? Make for historic Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby or Leicester where fine Asian cuisine is spicily sumptuous. 

Seek out traditional local fare too - delicious cheeses, gingerbread and the famous Melton Mowbray pork pies.
