Welcome to Kegworth

Kegworth is a small village located in the North West Leicestershire district of Leicestershire, England. The village is situated on the River Soar and is known for its picturesque countryside and historic buildings. Kegworth is home to several notable landmarks, including the Grade II listed Kegworth Old Hall, which dates back to the 16th century. The village also has a number of shops, pubs, and restaurants, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

One of the most significant events in Kegworth's history was the Kegworth air disaster, which occurred on January 8, 1989. A British Midland flight from London Heathrow to Belfast crashed just short of East Midlands Airport, killing 47 people and injuring 74 others. The disaster had a profound impact on the village and the wider community, and a memorial to the victims can be found in the village churchyard.

Despite its small size, Kegworth has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local groups and organizations. The Kegworth Village Association, for example, works to promote the village and improve the quality of life for its residents. The village also has a primary school, a sports club, and a number of other amenities that contribute to its vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
