Kegworth is a village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, sitting just off the M1 and within easy reach of East Midlands Airport. The compact centre, with its stone and brick buildings clustered around St Andrew's Church, still feels like a traditional Midland village and hosts a handful of independent shops, pubs and active community clubs.
The village’s economy is a mix of local services and light industry, with many residents commuting to nearby cities such as Nottingham and Derby or working in airport-related roles. Kegworth is also remembered for the 1989 crash of British Midland Flight 92 nearby, an event that shaped local memory through the large-scale emergency response and community solidarity that followed.
