Swaffham has received a second grant from Historic England for cultural events in the town in 2023 and up to March 2024. The events are organised by the Swaffham Cultural Consortium, which is this year led by the Friends of Swaffham Heritage and will focus on the history and use of the Market Place in the past and present, with a look to the future.

The aims of the events are not only to foster interest in the history of the town, but also to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to come together in the centre of the town, to join groups, learn new skills and make new friendships.
