century to cater for the social needs of the young men of Earl Shilton.
Reconstituted in 1977 as a charity, it now serves as a
social centre for the whole village and the surrounding area.
The Institute is located just inside Station Rd in the centre of
the small town of Earl Shilton. The town is located in Leicestershire on the A47,
10 miles south west of Leicester and 5 miles north east of Hinckley.
You can find us at 12 Station Road, Earl Shilton, Leicester. LE9 7GA.

The Institute's, first home was accommodated in two rooms above the Hinckley Urban District Council's gas showrooms in Wood St. In 1909 the present building was erected, paid for by public subscription, and a mortgage guaranteed by local industrialists, who were the founders and formed the first Management Committee. The building has been a landmark and focal point in the village since that time.
