Sileby is a sizeable village and civil parish in the borough of Charnwood, Leicestershire, England, located roughly between Leicester and Loughborough. It benefits from good road and rail links to those regional centres, which has encouraged commuter living while the village retains a compact centre of shops, pubs and everyday services.
Its growth in the 19th century reflected the regional trades of the East Midlands, and today Sileby combines residential neighbourhoods with small businesses and light industry. There is an active civic life - schools, community groups and sports clubs (including Sileby Town football club) - which help sustain a strong local identity and village traditions alongside its more commuter-oriented economy.
