More about Swardeston

Norfolk, England

Swardeston sits quietly in Norfolk with a social club that has been keeping the village warm for years. The local hall usually hosts a craft fair or community play that makes the whole street feel like one big family gathering. Not bad for a spot so close to the coast. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting at the Social Club. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
