Laburnum Road Community Church

The church on Laburnum Road sits quietly in Hungarton, the kind of place you'd walk past without thinking much about it if you weren't looking for it specifically. It's a community church - so straightforward in its purpose, really. Sunday services, likely some weekday activities, the sort of place where locals gather rather than tourists queue up with cameras.

There's nothing showy about it, which is precisely the point. If you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots like Reas Glamping Retreat or the camping options around Cossiwild, and you want to experience proper village life rather than manufactured heritage, this is where that happens. You'll get a genuine sense of how Hungarton ticks - the real rhythms of the place, not the polished version.

It's worth a visit if you've got time and you're curious about local faith and community, but be realistic - it's a working church, not an attraction in the tourist sense. You won't spend hours here. Go for a service if the timing works, or take a walk past during the day. The building itself will tell you something about the area's modest character. Ring ahead if you want to know about visiting times, because unlike the grand cathedrals an hour's drive away, this place operates on local needs rather than visitor schedules. For those doing a proper village-based holiday in the Leicestershire countryside, it's an authentic stop. For others, it might feel a bit thin unless you're genuinely interested in community life.
