Fakenham is a market town and civil parish in Norfolk, England. It is situated on the River Wensum, some 19 mi (31 km) north east of King's Lynn, 19 mi (31 km) south west of Cromer, and 25 mi (40 km) north west of Norwich.

In 1086 (Domesday Book) Fakenham had only 150 residents. Hempton, on the opposite side of the river, was the larger community and had an abbey that played host to pilgrims on their way to Walsingham.

 

Fakenham’s Charter was granted in 1250. The market is held every Thursday except when this day falls on a Bank Holiday, when an alternative day may be substituted.

 

It is a busy country market supplying a wide variety of clothing, foods, fruit & vegetables, plants and household goods.

The income from the Charter Market is used to give grants to Charities or Organisations within the civil parish boundary of Fakenham and at least 50% of beneficiaries should be residents of Fakenham. 

 

We will be selling our delicious Eggs starting from Thursday the 19th May 2016 - all laid fresh and daily on our Farm and a range of Livestock. We take pre-orders for both our Eggs and Livestock which can then be collected on the day at the Market or from our Farm at a later date.
