Farnsfield is a sizeable village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England. Set among rolling arable fields and small pockets of ancient woodland, the settlement has medieval roots visible in its parish church and a scattering of listed cottages and Victorian houses; the village centre still revolves around shops, pubs, a green and an active village hall.
Historically agricultural, the local economy now blends farming with residents who commute to Nottingham and other nearby towns. Community life is lively for a village of its size, with sports clubs, societies, a horticultural show and seasonal fetes, and plenty of countryside walking and cycling on the lanes and footpaths that radiate from the village.
