Horringer is an electoral ward and village in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, lying a short distance west of Bury St Edmunds. The ward combines a compact village centre with surrounding rolling arable countryside and parkland; the well‑known Ickworth estate and its woodland are nearby, giving the area a mix of formal historic landscape and working farmland.
The local community retains a strong village feel, with a parish church, village hall, pub and primary school and a steady number of commuters who travel into Bury St Edmunds and beyond, while agriculture and small local services remain important to the local economy. Historic buildings and the influence of nearby estates add character to the built environment, and community activities and conservation of the surrounding countryside are notable aspects of social life.
