Doc Media Centre's Saturday Heritage Fair 2025

We’re delighted to partner with the Documentary Media Centre to host the Saturday Heritage Fair, a free, family-friendly celebration of Leicester and Leicestershire’s rich heritage. Explore hands‑on displays, short talks, film screenings and creative workshops in our Hansom Hall, classrooms and gallery spaces.

It's a much-loved event by many, including our learners, so please do join us: 

Date: Saturday 11 October
Time: 10am-3pm (drop in anytime, no booking required)
Location: Leicester Adult Education College, LE1 6QL

• Are you now the custodian of family heritage items and want to find out more about them?
• Is your community group in the early stages of developing a heritage collection?
• Are you thinking about growing an existing collection?

If the answer is "yes" to any of those questions, then the Saturday Heritage Fair will help you find the guidance you need with the help of the Independent Heritage Network.

Enjoy exhibits from Braunstone History Group, Leicester Musical Memory Box, Heritage Hub and many others, each with lots of interesting things to share. Plus, they'll be plenty of hands-on things to get involved with, from Museum in a Box, scrap booking and embroidery workshops, to performances and live broadcasting. 

Sound interesting? We've certainly loved the events before. If you'd like to discover more, including the full day's programme, head over to Documentary Media Centre's website.

We hope to see you there!
