Sharrington Village Sign

Sharrington's village sign sits just east of Fakenham, a proper little Norfolk curiosity that won't take more than ten minutes to look at properly. It's the sort of thing you spot whilst driving through and think 'hang on, that's interesting' - and it turns out the village has commissioned a gallery-style sign rather than the usual cast-iron affair most places make do with.

The sign itself functions as a gallery space, which is unusual for rural Norfolk. You'll find it displays work that reflects the village's character and history - the sort of thing that gives you a genuine sense of what Sharrington's about, rather than just being a roadside Instagram moment. It's free to look at and takes no planning whatsoever.

Honestly? It's worth a five-minute detour if you're staying nearby at one of the caravan parks - Old Brick Kilns and Kelling Heath are both within spitting distance. Don't expect it to be a destination in itself, but if you're based at any of the holiday parks in the area and fancy a gentle potter around the village, it's a pleasant enough reason to stretch your legs. The rolling Norfolk countryside around here is the real draw, and the sign's just a nice way to slow down and notice what the locals care about.
