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 three 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 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.
