We’re also lucky to be surrounded by plenty of hotels and accommodation options for overnight guests, which our friendly team can advise on.
2. A winning stadium atmosphere
Since 1892, Mattioli Woods Welford Road has been the home of rugby giants Leicester Tigers and has served as a backdrop to their rise in becoming English Rugby's most successful team. With 34 suites and nearly 4,000 square meters of space, Mattioli Woods Welford Road is the largest venue of its kind in the East Midlands.
