LEICESTER’S popular Prosecco Festival is set to inject some fizz back into the city when it returns after a temporary sojourn during the pandemic.

Organisers of the UK’s biggest touring Prosecco festival promise a “post-pandemic fizzy flurry” when Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road stadium hosts its comeback this weekend.

Bubbly lovers are in for a treat, with “30 types of Prosecco, Cava, pink fizz & Prosecco cocktails” on the drinks menu. The festival will also features world gins, plus an awardwinni­ng fizzy cocktail selection.

After four years of sell-out tours, the team behind the event said they can’t wait to be back in Leicester.

Events manager Shannon Williams said: “We’ve reschedule­d due to the pandemic and have been so eager to return to Leicester as we’ve sold out in record time each year. We have limited tickets still available.

“Leicester is really is well known for loving its fizz... and after huge demand, it was a must to come back in 2021.”

Within the Prosecco Festival will be stations offering more than 30 types of Prosecco, Spumante, Cava, Brut, pink fizz, Prosecco cocktails and a handpicked selection of world gins. For non-fizz fans there will be Italian beers. There will be a band and dancefloor, and an Italian street food stand.

On arrival, you will be given your branded Prosecco flute ready to fill. All bars work on a token (no cash) system. Tokens can be purchased using cash or card from the token points at the venue. A negative lateral flow test is required for entry
