St. Michael and All Angels' Church

Sport and recreation

Bunwell Athletic Football Club play home games at Bunwell Recreation Ground and compete in the Norwich and District Sunday League. The operations of the club were put in jeopardy in 2016 after an arson attack, yet the club was able to continue due to support from the local community and Norfolk FA.

A greyhound racing track was opened on a meadow where hare coursing used to take place. The racing was independent and not affiliated to the National Greyhound Racing Club. Racing took place from 1935 to 1940, but the site closed during Second World War.
