Villagers are set to rock the rec to raise funds for a new village hall.

The building at Walsingham, near Fakenham, was burned down in an arson attack in January, 2023.

A fundraising campaign has so far brought in £500,000 - half the money needed to bring ambitious plans to replace it to fruition.
