Thornham Taverners supports Thornham Cricket Club and the provision of cricket facilities to all in and around the Thornham area of North West Norfolk.

We provide match balls, fixture lists and help with equipment.

Our exciting project for 2024/2025 is to help raise funds for a much needed new Sports Pavilion to replace a much loved but very old wooden hut.

The existing pavilion was built for the Thornham Cricket Club (TCC) over 40 years ago and was moved from the old Playing Fields on The Green to the new Sports Field.  It is no longer “fit for purpose”.

Its changing rooms are now used for storage as both teams change in the Village Hall.  The floor is disintegrating in places, the windows need replacing, and there is no room for match officials to retire away from the players. 

The kitchen area is cramped and there is no proper space for serving food and refreshments except outside.

The proposal includes two fully functional changing rooms, a kitchen and room for officials. These will be positioned around a large central area capable of seating teams and spectators.

A further area at the back can be used as a meeting room.

It makes the pavilion a true ‘home’ for all including cricketers, footballers, and softball players as well as for other sporting and social events which take place on the playing field.
