The Gallow Fakenham
Welcome to the Gallow. We are an association of sports clubs and so much more.
It is with great pleasure that we can announce that the Gallow, Fakenham Sports Centre has been awarded two very significant grants to help us install a suspended ceiling for our bowls hall. This coincides wonderfully with The Gallow celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The bowls club is one of the founding clubs within the association. The installation of the ceiling will make a huge difference to our heating bills which will be a bonus to the whole association.
One grant was awarded from NNDC Sustainable Fund, and a larger grant was awarded from Norfolk Community Foundation. We would like to thank both for their support. We are a non-profit members owned association so any help from such bodies is very much appreciated.
As a facility we try our hardest to be open to everyone. As part of our inclusive policy we have Disabled access and facilities including a wheelchair for use whilst bowling.
Christmas eve and New Years Eve we close at 4.00pm. We are closed Christmas day, boxing day and New year’s day.
Fakenham Race Days when our doors do not open until 6pm.
