Barnham is a conservation village which lies on the Suffolk-Norfolk border, two miles from the historic market town of Thetford. It is a quiet, friendly place with a real community spirit, due to the variety of activities organised by local people. A traditional Fete takes place every September, on the field beside the Village Hall. This year's Fete is being held on Sunday September 9th, 1pm - 4pm, and the theme will be 'Dragons'. The Fete will be officially opened by Hollywood actor Ed Speleers, who recently starred in Eragon. Hence the Dragon theme! There is also a thriving Amateur Dramatics group, which puts on plays periodically, and every other year the village produces a pantomine.

On the outskirts of the village is RAF Barnham, built in about 1953 on Thetford Heath to store atomic weapons, but by the 1960’s it was obsolete and in 1965 the storage buildings were sold and are now used as a light industrial estate. The remainder of RAF Barnham is still a serving station, under the control of nearby RAF Honington. A thriving ATC group meets there on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
