About this Pub

This pub opened on: 11 Dec 1997

JD Wetherspoon

Type: J D Wetherspoon

This pub is Cask Marquee Accredited

Pub History

This Wetherspoon pub is named after William Wygston, several times Mayor of Leicester and a benefactor to the city. The rents from his estate in Wigston supported the hospital he built, where Leicester Grammar School now stands.

This pub does not appear to have any special historical connections. However, the town is an ancient one. Wigston Magna gets its name from 'Viking's Tun' or 'settlement'. The Old English word 'viking' means 'pirate'.

Live News

We show live subtitled news (on silent) throughout the day.
