Attleborough, an intriguing market town, is nestled in the heart of Norfolk. Founded by the Atlinge in the Anglo-Saxon period, it occupies a generous 21.9 square kilometres and is known for its long-standing fusion of history and culture. Renowned for its Thursday market which dates back to 1285, the town pulsates with animated barter and a cornucopia of local produce.

Home to a population of just over 10,000 residents, Attleborough enshrines notable elements from significant historical periods. From being mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Attleburc to the significant influence of the Mortimer family who governed Attleborough for three centuries. Despite the tragedy of losing much to a fire in 1559, the town has triumphed against the odds, flourishing since the arrival of the railway in 1845.

In addition to its illustrious history, Attleborough has a rich collection of distinguished residents - from composer Malcolm Arnold to racing driver Ayrton Senna. Providing valuable educational and athletic opportunities for its community with three schools and a reputation for breeding football talent, the town's offerings are vast and varied.

When to visit Attleborough

Ideally, the perfect time to witness Attleborough in its full bloom is during the beautiful summer months from June to August, with July and August being particularly delightful due to the lovely warm temperatures. The period between April to September also offers a dry climate perfect for outdoor exploration.

However, one of the enchantments of Attleborough is that regardless of the time of year, the town presents a unique allure. Whether it's the picturesque Christmas period with December's high humidity causing misty vistas that add to the ethereal experience of the parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the refreshing and less humid month of May, Attleborough's charm is unfailing.
