THETFORD | Tour of Thetford Norfolk - Home of the Dad's Army TV Show
Thetford, a historic market town in Norfolk, England, boasts a rich and varied history that is still evident in its town center today. The market square, surrounded by a mix of traditional and modern buildings, serves as the commercial and social heart of the community. Here, you'll find the town's guildhall, a beautiful historic building that now houses the local museum, and a variety of independent shops, cafes, and pubs. The town center's layout reflects its long history as a trading hub, with narrow streets and alleyways branching off the main square. This bustling area provides a strong sense of local identity and is a focal point for events and markets throughout the year.

Beyond its historical and commercial significance, Thetford is most famously known as the fictional "Walmington-on-Sea," the setting for the beloved British sitcom **Dad's Army**. The town and its surrounding areas were used as the primary filming locations for the show's exterior scenes, transforming Thetford into the coastal town where the Home Guard unit's misadventures took place. Fans of the show can follow a special heritage trail to see key filming locations, visit the Dad's Army Museum, and even pose with a bronze statue of Captain Mainwaring, the show's beloved protagonist, a perfect photo opportunity for any fan.

The town's connection to *Dad's Army* has turned it into a unique pilgrimage site for fans, cementing its place in British pop culture history. The legacy of the show is celebrated in the town, not just through the museum and statue but also in the local shops and pubs that have embraced their connection to the sitcom. This pop culture tie-in has brought a new dimension to Thetford's identity, attracting visitors from all over who want to walk in the footsteps of Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson, and the rest of the Home Guard platoon. It's a prime example of how a television show can create a lasting and positive impact on a community.
