Harleston's Future

Harleston's Future Harleston's Future was set up by local residents and businesses to ensure the continued prosperity and well-being of Harleston on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.

Events and community initiatives add vitality to the town and attract more visitors. Harleston's Future was established by Harleston & District Business Forum in 2013 to help the town respond to change and draw in visitors to support the local shops and businesses. We believe that Harleston, with its plethora of historic buildings and architecture, delightful range of independent shops, cafe's, pu

bs and hotels and its position in the heart of the beautiful Waveney Valley, makes a fabulous addition to any holiday itinerary or day out from City or Coast.
