Lifestyle
There is a real sense of village life within Brooke with many organisations catering for all ages. For locals, Brooke's charms are obvious. It’s pretty meres, medieval church and sleepy cottages are a delight, and just 15 minutes' drive from the heart of Norwich. a national newspaper named it as one of two ‘up and coming’ locations in the county - the other being Aldborough, in north Norfolk. The list, produced by the Sunday Times and covering all of Britain, nominated places in each region which “have all the right ingredients to be something bigger and better than the sum of their parts, and are set to change”. The paper called Brooke “a great little village”, and noted its cricket club among its best features. It's the village that's got the lot really, and a huge amount of history - like the very first harvest festival was held in Brooke. There's two pubs, a garage, no end of sports facilities, plus a local school.
Schools
Local schools include Brooke Preschool and Brooke V.C Church of England Primary School.
