Wedding stages and mehndi nights #
Leicester does weddings properly. A wedding stage backdrop sets the scene for every photo, and a mehndi backdrop brings the colour to the night before. Measure how wide and how tall the stage is, type it in, and the price is for that exact size. Choose hemmed edges with eyelets, or pole pockets if it is going on a frame.
Getting the photos right #
The backdrop is behind the couple in hundreds of pictures, so keep the busy stuff to the edges. Names and the date sit high enough to clear heads. Gold on deep red or green looks great in person and in photos. Dark text on a dark background disappears the moment the camera fires, so keep contrast strong. Ask the decorator where the lights and flowers go, too, so they frame the names rather than cover them.
Printing in Leicester for Diwali and Eid #
The Diwali celebrations on Belgrave Road pull huge crowds every autumn. Temples, shops, families and community groups order Diwali banners to go on railings and above shop windows. For Eid, Eid banners go up on homes, mosques and shops. Navratri and Vaisakhi keep the calendar full. The dates do not move, so do not leave it to the week before.
Writing in your language #
Your Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu wording is welcome, as long as you supply it. A copyable file is far safer than a photo of a screen, and check every letter yourself before you order. We print exactly what you send, so a missing dot stays missing.
Venues, sport and the market #
- De Montfort Hall and banqueting suites around the city: roller banners for the entrance and backdrops for the stage.
- Welford Road and the King Power Stadium: supporters’ banners and feather flags.
- Leicester Market: PVC banners above the stall.
- De Montfort University and the University of Leicester: freshers stalls and graduation banners.
- High street shops: shop signs and window posters.
Outdoor rules #
Outdoor adverts here come under England’s 2007 advertisement regulations. A short-term banner often needs no permission. Going on a wall or by a road? Check with Leicester City Council first.

Leicester orders: your questions
Does FatPrint have a shop in Leicester?
No. FatPrint is an online print business with nowhere to walk into in the city. Everything is made to order and leaves by tracked courier from within the UK.
When should we order for Diwali or Eid?
Give it two or three weeks. Making time for each turnaround is on the product page and starts once we have a confirmed order plus usable artwork, and the courier normally needs one to three working days after dispatch.
Our stage is an odd size. Can the backdrop match it?
Yes. Type in the width and height and the price follows. Say how it will hang, whether eyelets, pole pockets or a frame, and it is made to suit.
What will postage to Leicester cost?
£7.95 a parcel, or free once the order tops £100 after discounts (artwork fees do not count towards it). Anything longer than 3 m, or a board beyond A0, carries a £15 surcharge.
Can the banner be in Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu?
Yes, if you provide the wording or the artwork. Send wording in a file we can copy and paste, never a photo, and read it through before ordering.
