Worstead, the origin of "worsted" wool in the 14th century, is located in North Norfolk, about 13 miles (21km) north of Norwich (England).
Worstead Festival is the largest village festival in Norfolk. It features ...
Display Ring entertainments
Village Square live music stage (Saturday and Sunday only)
over 150 craft, charity, and trade stalls
working heavy horses in action
weaving and spinning demonstrations
vintage cars, tractors, and agricultural implements
charity auction on Sunday
plus entertainments such as farmyard animals, an air rifle range, a five mile fun run, a fair ground - in fact enough to keep all ages enthralled for a full day - or more.
To sustain our visitors there are several food and refreshment locations, plus The New Inn, and for our visitors' convenience there are ladies, gents, and disabled toilet facilities at five different locations around the village.
If the weather is kind we attract about 25,000 visitors - about half of whom are "regulars" - so we must be getting something right!
