As the flagship fundraising event for 2021 Rocket Round Leicester saw a fleet of 40 large rocket artworks placed throughout the city between July and September forming a trail to follow. Each rocket was decorated by an artist in a different style some linking to their location, like the LCFC themed rocket outside the King Power Stadium and others with more general themes of Leicester birds or historical figures (look out for a King Richard III themed rocket) etc. This film has been several months and many miles in the making and shows just a selection of the rockets on the trail, You`ll see rockets beside well known Leicester landmarks across the city from Jubilee Square to the Golden Mile and all points in between, how many can you spot and which is your favorite ?.

After the success of the event in 2020, the Cosby Crafters are back in 2021 with a new Yarnbomb with a theme of "up up and away" to brighten up the village. With creations including cheeky seagulls, fairytale characters, Giant Butterflies and more there was something for everyone. The postbox in The Nook has been given a topper Mr Whippy (parked alongside) would be proud of, there`s even a flake and raspberry sauce. A little further down the road several giant butterflies have come to rest on the side of a barn and a large knitted sign gives passing motorists and visitors a clue as to whats happening. As you enter the village a knitted bi-plane is flying a strange flight path whilst outside the popular Tithe Barn a group of knitted geese form their V shape flying formation.

  The Leicester Tigers Rugby Club teamed up with artist James Lad and street art collective Graffwerk to design the Away Kit for the team, featuring a striking Tiger design that incorporates various cultural influences the club approached James and Graffwerk about the possibility of collaborating together on the kit designs. What started as an initial idea turned into ‘The Spirit of Leicester’. The artwork is situated on the south of the stadium and very visible to both passers by and fans on matchday.

  To mark the historic win of The FA Cup by Leicester City in 2021, Leicester City Council and Graffwerk came together with street artist Smug to create an artwork on the side of The F Bar on Walnut Street close to both the former and current home of the club (Filbert Street and the King Power Stadium). Featuring several foxes fighting for the cup it visually represents the well known phrase associated with the club of "foxes never quit".
