The Corn Exchange

The Victorian building that dominates Fakenham's market square has that distinctive red-brick solidity you see all over Norfolk - proper industrial heritage, the sort of place where farmers once haggled over grain prices and the whole town's economy turned on the harvest. These days it functions as a community and events venue, hosting everything from farmers markets to live music, so what you see depends entirely on when you pitch up.

It's worth a wander if you're already in Fakenham town centre - which you will be if you're staying at any of the caravan parks within striking distance. Norfolk Coast Caravans and Camping is less than a mile away, making this an easy evening stroll before dinner. The building itself tells you more about 19th-century Norfolk than any museum plaque could: the architecture speaks volumes about the agricultural wealth that built this region.

Historically-minded visitors will get the most from it, particularly those interested in the rural economy and Victorian market infrastructure. Kids won't find much to hold their attention unless there's an event on. Realistically, allow 20 minutes to look around the exterior and wander inside if the doors are open - it's not a sit-down attraction.

Best to check ahead for opening times and what's happening during your visit. As a standalone destination it's modest, but combined with exploring Fakenham's other town features and the Norfolk countryside nearby, it slots nicely into a park-based holiday itinerary.
