Historic Swaffham - as seen on TV

Swaffham is a lively and bustling market town which still retains its charm and character. The market place, framed by many fine buildings, has been the focal point of life in Swaffham for centuries. The Saturday market, held by permission of a Royal Charter, attracts shoppers from miles around with stalls selling local produce, clothes, bric-a-brac and other wares. Swaffham still boasts many small, privately-run businesses, and on the northern approach to the town, Waitrose’s food store can be found.

With schools for all ages, an excellent selection of shops, a purpose-built sports centre, the new primary care centre, a library, several restaurants and pubs, the town caters for most everyday needs and activities. A new leisure and fitness centre, including a swimming pool, is also planned near the EcoTech Centre.

Situated approximately 30 miles west of the city of Norwich and 16 miles south-east of King’s Lynn, Swaffham provides an ideal base for commuting to either location or near-by Dereham via the A47. The beautiful and unspoilt beaches of the North Norfolk coast can be reached in under 45 minutes by car.

The Hatchery is located on Castle Acre Road, almost opposite the EcoTech Centre and Waitrose, and only half a mile north of the town centre.
