Thurgarton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, England. It sits in the gently rolling countryside of the River Trent valley, not far from the market towns of Newark-on-Trent and Southwell, and is surrounded by farmland, hedgerows and a network of public footpaths popular with walkers.
Historically the settlement has strong agricultural roots and retains several older buildings including a traditional parish church and farmhouses, giving the place a quiet, historic character. Local life tends to centre on community events and the parish, with the local economy still dominated by farming alongside a small mix of businesses and commuters who travel to nearby towns; proximity to the river and nearby heritage towns adds recreational and cultural interest.
