Team member Dee recently visited Leicester, here's what she had to say... "The shops are just a short walk from the theatre. We spent most of our time exploring Highcross which was bright and spacious and included many of our favourite stores including Pandora, Yankee Candles, Lush, Sketchers and John Lewis. Just outside Highcross is a vast choice of popular restaurants including Zizzi, Turtle Bay, Pizza Express, Fridays and Frankie and Benny's. We had a lovely day!".
