Showcasing Fakenham ✨

26 Feb 2026

Welcome to Fakenham! ✨

We are delighted to share this beautiful, vibrant new artwork, which will soon be brightening up the town centre and celebrating everything that makes our community so special.

You may also have spotted filming taking place recently in the Market Place 👀🎥 A professionally produced promotional film has been capturing the true spirit of Fakenham — from our rich history and natural surroundings to our strong community spirit, unique local businesses, and fantastic events.

Both the artwork and the film are part of our exciting project to showcase Fakenham as the welcoming, distinctive town we are proud to call home.

We can’t wait to share more with you soon!

This NORTH NORFOLK DISTRICT COUNCIL TOWN AMBITION PROGRAMME (TAP) project is part-funded by the UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund, was supported by the North Norfolk District Council and delivered in Partnership with Norfolk County Council.
