Entertainment and leisure
Small rural towns can be considered too quiet or slow for some residents, but that isn’t the case with Thatcham. A new build here will grant you access to historical attractions, parks, sports facilities and more.
We’ve already mentioned the walking and cycle trails in and around the town, but you can also get active at the Kennet Leisure Centre or the rugby and football clubs. Kids can try Go Ape or play at the Nature Discovery Centre, or take a walk along the Kennet & Avon Canal. Thatcham Family Fun Day is a highlight of the calendar, which features a colourful funfair with games and stalls that all the family can enjoy.
And when you’ve had enough of running about, get comfy in one of the many classic country pubs that this town has to offer, chatting with fellow residents over a drink as the sun goes down.
