Worlingham is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) east of Beccles. Worlingham has grown in popularity over recent years leading to a surge in house prices due to the draw of nearby Beccles and the demise of Lowestoft, Bungay and Southwold. At the 2011 census it had a population of 3,745,[1] the combined population of Beccles and Worlingham is 13,868.

Worlingham has a limited range of shops including a local grocery and sub-post office, hairdresser, fish and chip shop, pharmacy and small newsagent.[2] There are four parks.

The local church, which is approximately 900 years old, is dedicated to All Saints. Worlingham Hall is an 18th-century country house now converted to a country house hotel.

Worlingham CofEVC Primary School serves the village and children attend Sir John Leman High School in Beccles from age 11.[2] A community steering group has been created to bring life back into the village by giving the local children and teenagers places to go and do activities. House prices in Worlingham are some of the highest in the northern area of East Suffolk District (formerly Waveney District).
