Fakenham, in mid-Norfolk, had a population of around 8,400 at the 2021 census — a small market town built around its livestock market and racecourse.
A racecourse in a market town
Fakenham has held market rights for centuries, and the town's Thursday market is still at the centre of local life. Just outside the town centre sits Fakenham Racecourse, a National Hunt course that's been holding meetings since the 19th century — one of the smaller, more traditional tracks in the country, and still one of the biggest draws to the town on race days.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Fakenham's racing heritage didn't translate into a confectionery trade, and as a small market town it doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Fakenham shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into Norwich or King's Lynn required.
