Discover active escapes in Leicester and Leicestershire with a new ‘Fitcation’ short break

Over 40 experiences are available, offering thrill-seeking challenges, opportunities to learn a new sport or have family active fun.

Visitors to Leicester and Leicestershire can enjoy a new 'Fitcation' short break, experiencing a wide range of thrill-seeking challenges and adventure activities, as well as learning a new sport or finding some active family fun.

Developed by Visit Leicester in partnership with Active Together, one of the key aims of the Fitcation campaign is to encourage families, individuals and groups to include physical activities when booking a short break. It features a range of over 40 bookable activities and challenges for short breaks in Leicester and Leicestershire covering three themes: Adrenaline Escapes, Sporting Escapes and Active Family Escapes.

The campaign gives plenty of inspiration for having fun together.

Fitcation is all about having gentle adventures and active short breaks to stay healthy, energised and happy. Trying a new sport, setting a personal challenge to get a buzz of achievement or just taking a walk in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside will create a sense of wellbeing that helps us cope better with our daily lives.

The campaign has a selection of holiday and short break ideas including luxury boutique narrowboat trips and e-bike cycling adventures in the National Forest.
