Beaumont Market
The centre had an outdoor market area which opened in 1984.[4] The market was open from Wednesday to Sunday. The main area was under cover and had over 60 stalls with a wide range of products on sale such as fruit and vegetables, games and DVDs, household items and general bric-a-brac stall. There was also usually a butchers van. The market was closed and demolished in 2025. The area has since been used to host “Beaumont Beach”, a kids play area with a large sand pit, trampolines and other temporary play structures.
A car boot sale for used goods was held in the car park located next to the market area on Sundays between March and November although it was ceased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
Other
Both Matalan and Buzz Bingo are located across the road but neither is officially part of Beaumont Shopping Centre.[5]
Public transport
Beaumont Shopping Centre has a purpose-built bus terminus that has seven stands which run services into and around the outskirts of Leicester, services 14A, 25/26, 54 and 74 are operated by First Leicester, Centrebus provide services HH "Hospital Hopper", LeicesterOrbital 40N/40S and route 154.
Potential expansion
Leicester City Council are planning to open a Park and Ride hub on land north of the shopping centre. However the development of this is uncertain as the original plans proposed in 2021 for the Park and Ride hub included a bus lane corridor connecting the bus terminus and the neighbouring village of Anstey which has as of May 2026 failed to come to fruition.
