Glenfield Faire is an electoral ward in the district of Blaby, in Leicestershire, on the western fringe of Leicester, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of mid-20th century and more recent housing, small local shops, a village hall and green spaces that give it a semi-rural, village-like feel despite close commuting links to the city.
The ward’s development mirrors the suburban growth of the region through the 20th century, so pockets of older architecture sit alongside modern estates and light industrial units on the edges. Economically it functions largely as a commuter and local services area, while active community groups and parish initiatives keep a steady programme of local events and social activity.
