Thrussington is a compact village and civil parish in the borough of Charnwood, in Leicestershire, England. Set amid rolling Leicestershire farmland a few miles north‑east of Leicester and within easy reach of Melton Mowbray, it retains a strong historic core with a village green, a parish church of medieval origin and a number of timber‑framed and brick cottages that give it conservation‑area character.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture but now mixes farming with commuters working in nearby towns; the village has a close‑knit social life centred on a pub, village hall and regular local events such as fetes and clubs, while quiet lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural base within reach of urban amenities.
