Kegworth Heritage Centre is a small community museum in Kegworth, North West Leicestershire, telling the story of the village and its people through local history and archaeology, including the Redhill Curse Tablet and the Robert Williams Collection of Roman and medieval finds. Visitors can explore the ground floor gallery and the reopened upper gallery, follow the village heritage plaques, and take part in fundraising events like the Balloon Race. It's best suited to those with an interest in local heritage and archaeology, and is run by volunteers, so opening is limited to alternating Sundays in season, with private visits by arrangement. The nearest station is East Midlands Parkway, two miles away, and with 20 bookable places to stay within five miles, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay nearby.
