Burnham Market – Market, Tennis and Excursions

Burnham Market offers a variety of reasons to visit: a monthly Saturday market, tennis on Station Road and nearby Crabbs Castle. A boat trip to the Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve departs from Burnham Overy Staithe. Is a particular market Saturday important to you, would you like to include tennis, or are you planning a separate excursion? You can first choose your travel dates based on what you want to do, then look for a hotel for your stay in Burnham Market.

Market and Dates

The Burnhams Market is a monthly Saturday market featuring carefully selected craftspeople, producers and makers from Norfolk. In the 2026 season, it takes place at Saint Marys Church on Westgate in Burnham Market. The monthly schedule makes the specific Saturday the key point of reference: not every weekend is automatically a market day. If the market is to be a highlight of your stay, check the date and seasonal details in advance. For those interested in Norfolk crafts and producers, it offers a specific reason to choose their stay’s Saturday carefully.

Tennis in Burnham Market

The Burnhams Tennis Club has two floodlit hard courts and a clubhouse at the sports ground on Station Road in Burnham Market. For tennis enthusiasts, both the hard-court surface and the number of courts are useful points of reference; the clubhouse is also part of the facilities. Club facilities can change. If you would like to include tennis in your travel plans, check the latest information before visiting. This will help you determine in advance whether this sporting activity fits your plans.

Crabbs Castle and Planning Excursions

Crabbs Castle is a castle in the area around Burnham Market. If castles are among your interests, you can consider it as a separate reason for an excursion alongside activities in the town. The planning is different: the tennis club and market are in Burnham Market, while the castle is in the surrounding area.

Visitors can take a boat trip to the Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve from Burnham Overy Staithe. If you would like to plan this trip, you have a clearly identified departure point and a specific destination. Plan the boat trip with Burnham Overy Staithe as your starting point and check the relevant times in advance. This keeps the excursion distinct as a separate part of your itinerary.

The planning considerations differ: for the market, it is about choosing the right Saturday; for the tennis club, checking the current facilities; and for the boat trip, knowing the departure point. If several of these interests come together, it helps to settle the most time-dependent activity first and treat the others as additions. This way, you can match your travel dates to your plans before looking for a hotel in Burnham Market.
