What is the Hat Walk?

At its heart, the Hat Walk is about self-expression and connection. Simply wear a hat—any style, size, or shape will do! From intricately hand-crafted designs to vintage treasures or playful fancy dress hats, the possibilities are endless. Even better, attending the Hat Walk is entirely free—no tickets or reservations are required. Just head to the town centre, and you’re ready to join the action.

A Welcoming Route for Everyone

Starting in the market square, the Hat Walk will follow a short, accessible loop through Fakenham’s town centre. This inclusive event is perfect for individuals, families, and groups alike. Along the way, expect smiles, laughter, and plenty of unique, colourful hats. Above all, the event aims to celebrate Fakenham’s creativity and community spirit.

Why This Event is Special

Since this is Fakenham’s very first Hat Walk, participants have a unique chance to be part of history. Organisers hope it will become a cherished tradition, complementing popular local events like the Spring Fair and Summer Festival. It’s an opportunity to try something new and help shape the future of Fakenham’s calendar.

Need Hat Inspiration?

Not sure what to wear? There are plenty of options! You could try crafting a custom hat over the weekend, which adds a personal touch to the experience. Alternatively, dig out an old favourite or pick up a playful hat from a local shop. Whatever you choose, remember—it’s all about having fun.
