Beaumont Market

The centre had an outdoor market area which opened in 1984. 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.

Other

Both Matalan and Buzz Bingo are located across the road but neither is officially part of Beaumont Shopping Centre.

Public transport

Beaumont Shopping Centre has a purpose-built bus terminus that has seven stands served by a number of buses which run into and around the outskirts of Leicester.
Centrebus provide services UHL, Orbital 40 and route 154.
First Leicester provide services: 14A, 25, 26, 54 and 74 which all operate into Leicester City Centre.
A new Park and Ride hub is due to be developed on land north of the shopping centre with construction planned for late 2024. However the development of this is uncertain as original plans proposed in 2021 for a P&R and a bus lane corridor connecting the bus terminus and the neighbouring village of Anstey failed to come to fruition.
