Our 
Story

Welcome to Leicester Marina

Set along the River Soar in the East Midlands, Leicester Marina offers a relaxed and friendly base for those who love life on the water. The Marina provides easy access to essential boating services and is close to local shops, pubs, and other amenities.

As a privately owned marina, we place great importance on creating a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. Nature thrives here too, with plenty of wildlife enjoying the peaceful surroundings alongside our community of boaters.

Our modern, recently updated facilities, combined with convenient on-site offerings, are designed to make your time with us as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

About Us

Leicester Marina offers a peaceful mooring spot on the River Soar, just 4 miles from Leicester city centre, between the Thurmaston and Birstall Locks. Adjacent to the beautiful Watermead Country Park, it’s the perfect place to enjoy scenic walks, cycle routes, and birdwatching.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly, high-quality marina with landscaped gardens, picnic areas, and BBQ facilities. With over 160 moorings available, we offer both short-term and long-term stays.

Surrounded by weeping willows, colourful flowerbeds, and home to friendly ducks and geese, the Marina offers a calm, welcoming atmosphere.

On-site services are available for boaters – you can read more [here]. Local shops, pubs, takeaways, and a chemist are all within a mile.
