    Went on Google steetview and there seem to be Kings at #36 and a pub formerly Out of the Vaults and Sloanes but now listed as Kings Head at #24.I have seperated the map points but ,as you say,we may need to verify all this in March.

    It's my understanding that Out of the Vaults effectively moved & metamorphosed into The Pub, leaving an eatery at its old location. The side entrance to Kings is directly accessible opposite The Pub, across the pedestrian New Walk; I don't like it, it smells and the beer is dodgy.
    I hope to attend this one, and will research a cunning plan to get y'all out to the Cow & Plough nr Oadby; better than the other Steamin Billy pub, the Western.

    Very confusing that Kings and Kings Head are a few doors away from each other. I did the Kings Head through the rear door which backs onto the Pub and is a Black Country pub, and was very clean and tidy inside with a good range of ales including the Black Country ones. There was an upstairs terrace outside reachable by what appears to be a fire escape. Shame I didn't take a photo of the front. Should be in Leicester before March and will do both of them complete with photos to sort them out.

    If Kings was the old Out of the Vaults / Vin IV I should know it as I went quite a few times before the Pub opened up.

    Yes that is correct. Or at least was when I looked in The Pub in July...

    Sorry for my late entrance into this thread (been away in the land of wriggly fish again ), but I think the options were the 8th or 22nd March..

    Can't do the 8th as that's the Legends of Rock weekend in Great Yarmouth, and all those into tribute bands are cordially invited.
    But the 22nd is good although, like others, I won't be able to commit until nearer the time in case work commitments get in the way.

    This was left with options being 8 or 22 March. Just checked Leicester CAMRA website and the Leicester beer fest is down as being 20 - 23 March at the usual venue. We will certainly be in Leicester that weekend.

    PS. We would however find it hard to leave the festival on the Friday during the day. It is a good fest, one of the best.

    Below are list of people who have OK'd the date and said something about the venue:

    Quinno - erring towards Leicester. Happy with 22nd
    Roger - Leicester. Happy with 22nd
    Gill & Ray - Leicester. No objection to 22nd.
    Trainman - erring towards Leicester
    Sheffieldhatter - Happy with 22nd
    OB - Unfussy. Happy with 22nd.
    Bucking Fastard - Happy with 22nd
    Hoppy - Derby.
    Rob - Leicester, with caveats. No objection to 22nd.
    Strongers - Leicester. No objection to 22nd.
    PSM - Leicester. Happy with 22nd
    A&H - Leicester. Happy with 22nd
    Oggy - Leicester. No objection to 22nd.
    Gann/SN21 - Leicester. No objection to 22nd

    So it looks like Leicester is the choice unless there's a late swing.

    The 22nd also looking good. If others post their preferences and availability I'll keep this updated.
    Gill there did seem to be some general agreement about March 22nd according to this helpful table from Quinno.

    That's great thanks. I had both dates pencilled in for Leicester so I can put 22nd as the right one. Starting to seriously plot and plan next year now.

    I'm up for this if its definitely the 22nd.

    Those from this end of the country (Quinno, Dave M, Conrad, Gazebo, Blackthorn etc) I may have a cunning plan to get people there for (I hope) £7. PM me if interested.
