Sheringham Stalls
Now you can see Clive's Picture Stall where you can buy an amazing assortment of pictures of everything from famous footballers, vehicles, flowers, scenery & much more. You can buy a frame or get your picture framed here, also you will find mirrors & a selection of handmade cards.
Norfolk Landscaping is owned by Ian, a chap with a very cheeky sense of humour! Visit his stall for fabulous plants and trees, it's awash with colour. Perfect for all garden sundries.
The Wickerware Stall offers all sorts of useful baskets & containers made from sturdy wicker. Log baskets, plant holders, shelves, shopping baskets you name it, you'll find it here. Once you've visited Norfolk Landscaping for your plants check out this stall for ceramic planters, they're very pretty! You will also find very attractive environmentally Jute Bags, useful & stylish.
All this shopping will no doubt leave you somewhat hungry and thirsty, the perfect place to stop for a cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a freshly prepared snack is the Carousel Catering Wagon. With seats & tables positioned at the front of the wagon you can rest your weary shopping legs and relax amidst the friendly atmosphere of the market.
All of the above stalls visit Sheringham every Wednesday (March-October) and Saturdays throughout the year.
Keep an eye on our site for more stalls, they will be added in the very near future.

Welcome to the Sheringham Market Blog
Sheringham market supplies an enormous range of quality goods & produce at excellent prices. The traders are a friendly bunch, serious business people who provide an excellent personal service to all their customers. They all love a chat and a joke!
After many years of holding a market in Sheringham, us traders feel we really must shout about our market. The market is often ignored in local advertising and we want to change all that, so we are launching a campaign to tell visitors and locals why it's a good thing to support our British markets.
All traders are local business people from the Norfolk area supporting the local economy. We pay our rents to local councils and sometimes private market hosts. By visiting independent local traders customers are helping independent businesses survive which can only be a good thing in the face of globalisation.
Markets support the local community in more ways than one. It's not just about doing business, many elderly people depend on the weekly market for a bit of social interaction they wouldn't otherwise enjoy. Traders nearly always have time for a chat and often make good friends with local people.
When you support your local market you are believe it or not shopping in a much more environmentally friendly way. Traders rarely use electricity for lighting or heating both of which contribute to global warming. A majority of traders don't travel for more than an hour to get to market. All stalls are cleared away at the end of the day leaving the area just as it was.
You are also supporting a British tradition which goes back hundreds of years, markets are part of our heritage - use it or lose it!
Sheringham market is a good example of how markets bring tourism and visitors from other areas of Norfolk into the town. Many visitors are attracted by the market and this brings business to the local shops, pubs, hotels and attractions too.
Parking is relatively easy, the market is on a large car park which is a very short walk away from the town itself and many attractions.
Keep an eye on this site, soon we will be adding pictures of stalls and further information about what is sold. We will also add useful links and information so that you can find out about other markets in Norfolk.
