Merchant’s Yard is all about bringing people together.
Just off the High Street, we’ve transformed our outdoor space with a cosy Winter Tipi, bringing a little après-ski magic to the heart of Leicester.
Think warm drinks, winter cocktails, good music and even better company. The perfect place to escape the cold, catch up with friends and enjoy the winter seasons.
We’re keeping the good times going throughout winter, opening to the public every Saturday with a packed programme of DJs, live music and special events, bringing those feel-good après vibes to the city centre.
Looking for somewhere to host your own celebration? Our Winter Tipi is also available for exclusive private hire throughout the rest of the week.
No pressure. Just good energy.
Come as you are – stay as long as you like.
The temperature might be dropping, but we’re turning up the heat at Merchant’s Yard.
