The village also has a large village green with a children's play area, a very active and well known cricket club playing on the village green as well as a bowls and football club. Shipdham has a post office, newsagents, coal merchant, chip shop and church, whilst Dereham is a busy mid Norfolk market town with a wide range of amenities including schools, a leisure and fitness centre, golf course, museums and many shops and cafes.
