West Beckham is a village and parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, eastern England.

West Beckham has a church, St Helen's and All Saints, and a pub, The Wheatsheaf, which serves a wide range of good food and ale. It also has monthly quizzes and occasional karaoke nights, in aid of charity. West Beckham shares a village hall with nearby Bodham, which also has a village store and post office. Regular bus services stopped going through West Beckham in April 2006, although efforts are being made to restore the service.

[edit] Bodham and Beckham Village Hall

Bodham and Beckham Village Hall is a modern hall, less than 20 years old, and is fully heated. It is regularly used by Bodham Bingo Club, yoga classes, church events and Bodham and Beckham Youth Club. Regular quiz night fundraisers are held during the winter months.
