Yes, most venues licensed for events in Leicester allow alcohol to be served. Some offer bar packages or bring-your-own options, while others require you to use their bar services. If alcohol is a key part of your event, double-check licensing terms and corkage policies before confirming the booking.
It’s advisable to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially for end-of-term or seasonal events, as the best venues get snapped up quickly. For spring balls and graduation events, consider booking 6–9 months ahead to secure your preferred date and location.
The Castle district is the main hotspot for ball venues in Leicester, thanks to its proximity to both the University of Leicester and De Montfort University. It's where you'll find well-used venues like Lvl1 @DMU, which accommodates up to 960 people, and Athena Events Venue, which holds up to 2,000 guests. The Freemen area also stands out, especially for events at King Power Stadium, which caters for large banquets and corporate balls.
