Hethersett is a large village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, lying a few miles south‑west of Norwich. Set amid gently rolling arable countryside and close to the main road links into the city, it has become a popular commuter settlement while keeping a distinct village centre with shops, pubs and local services.
The village has roots stretching back to the medieval period and retains a traditional parish church and a compact high street, alongside more recent housing developments. Community life is active, with sports clubs, a village hall and regular events that reflect both its agricultural hinterland and its role as part of the wider Norwich economic area.
