Events and Entertainment at Grosvenor Casino Leicester
At Grosvenor Casino Leicester, our entertainment programme is centred on a modern 24-hour casino experience rather than a conventional theatre or nightclub format. Following the refurbishment of our Highcross Street venue, guests can combine live casino tables, electronic gaming, poker, major sports broadcasts, food and drinks within the same entertainment setting. Our main casino and published table gaming operate around the clock, which gives evenings and late-night visits a naturally lively atmosphere without restricting entertainment to scheduled performance times. The gaming floor includes Roulette, Blackjack, Slots, Video Poker and E-Tables, while Leicester's outdoor gaming terrace creates an additional open-air setting for selected electronic games. Around 80 Slots and Video Poker games are available, including selected jackpot machines, so electronic gaming remains one of our most consistent forms of entertainment throughout the week.
Live sport is another major part of events at Grosvenor Casino Leicester. Our refurbished Sports Lounge is designed around watching important fixtures on large screens, creating a dedicated environment for football, boxing, horse racing, rugby, cricket, motorsport and other televised sport according to the broadcast schedule. Leicester also supports sports betting, meaning eligible adult customers can combine sports viewing with available pre-match or in-play markets, while guests who simply want to watch the action can use the lounge without betting. This makes major football matches, fight nights and other high-profile sporting occasions some of the most important recurring events in our entertainment calendar. Food and drink facilities complement the Sports Lounge, allowing a sporting event to form the centre of a full evening at the venue.
Poker gives our event programme a second regular competitive element. Grosvenor Casino Leicester has a dedicated poker room, with live poker forming part of the wider Grosvenor tournament and cash-game network. Depending on the current local calendar, players can find scheduled tournaments and cash games, while the wider Grosvenor programme includes National Poker League events, seasonal specials, G200 and G300 tournaments, GUKPT festivals, Low Roller and High Roller competitions and online satellites leading into live events. Not every national tournament is held in Leicester, so individual festivals and larger special events depend on the published venue schedule. Our wider 2026 poker calendar also includes seasonal events such as the Summer Sizzler and Christmas Cracker, together with online qualification routes that connect digital poker with live casino tournaments.
For organised social occasions, Grosvenor also provides bookable casino Experience Packages, subject to availability at the selected venue and date. The current range includes the £30 per person Game On Experience with a welcome drink, private dealer tuition and Grosvenor money; the £60 per person All In Experience with a cocktail, Champagne, private-table time and £30 Grosvenor money; the £25 per person Fan Zone Experience centred on sports viewing; and the £25 per person Poker Hand Experience built around a private dealer-dealt poker tournament. These formats are particularly suited to birthdays, group evenings, work socials and guests who prefer a structured introduction to casino entertainment. A dedicated nightclub, permanent dance floor, resident-DJ programme or regularly advertised live stage show is not currently listed among our Leicester facilities. Our late-night character instead comes from the 24/7 casino floor, bar, Sports Lounge, poker activity and special scheduled events, so entertainment should not be described as a traditional nightclub programme unless a specific temporary event is announced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular casino gaming and general access to our Sports Lounge do not normally operate as ticketed entertainment events. However, structured Grosvenor Experience Packages, private dealer sessions and certain group activities are bookable products and depend on availability for the chosen date. Poker tournaments can also have their own registration procedures, starting times and capacity limits. For major sporting occasions, the venue may be busier than usual, so access to a particular seat or viewing position should not be treated as guaranteed simply because the casino itself is open 24 hours.
Our casino experience is suitable for birthdays, work socials and other adult group occasions, with structured packages providing a more organised format than an ordinary casino visit. Game On combines a welcome drink with private dealer tuition, while All In adds private table time and additional hospitality elements. Poker Hand centres on a private dealer-dealt poker tournament, and Fan Zone is built around live sport and reserved seating. Package availability, group size requirements and included elements are governed by the current booking terms for the selected date.
No. Our venue combines casino gaming with sports viewing, food, drinks and social spaces, so an evening does not need to revolve entirely around placing bets. Guests can use the Sports Lounge for major televised fixtures, meet friends for food or drinks, or attend as part of a group experience. Sports betting, casino gaming and poker remain separate regulated activities, and simply watching a match or socialising in the venue does not require a person to place a wager.
Poker competitions follow their individual event rules and published schedules. Grosvenor's national poker terms allow events to be changed, moved or cancelled, including live and online competitions, so a previously announced festival should not be assumed to remain unchanged indefinitely. Tournament buy-ins, guarantees, starting flights and eligibility can also vary from one event to another. The current local or national poker schedule therefore determines which events are actually running at the time of a visit.
No. Grosvenor Casino Leicester participates in the wider Grosvenor entertainment environment, but national poker festivals, High Roller events, regional specials and other campaigns are distributed between different casinos. Our Leicester venue has its own permanent facilities, including the poker room and Sports Lounge, while individual national events are assigned to specific locations according to the published calendar. Online satellites and digital live casino entertainment are part of our wider Grosvenor offering and should not be confused with physical events taking place inside the Leicester casino.
