Apparently sales of camper vans and caravans in the UK have gone up considerably this year, the credit crunch, increasing fuel prices hiking up all prices have led to more people deciding to explore their own country instead.

Well here is an invitation to explore Norfolk and particularly the North Norfolk coast. Fantastic coastline, gorgeous beaches, beautiful villages and towns with friendly local folk should be encouraging enough but add to that the wonderful weekly markets and you've found a holiday paradise!

If you are looking to find a cost effective holiday then what could be more sensible and fun than to buy your produce at local markets. Fresh fruit and veg abound on nearly every market you are likely to visit. You can pick up fresh meat and fish too. Scroll down this website to see our friendly Sheringham butcher and fishmonger for more information.

Markets aren't just about food of course and are well worth exploring to find a whole wealth of other goods too. You can find almost anything you need. Just look at this site to see what is on offer and this is just a sample.

North Norfolk has just been shown to harbour the most frugal folk of the UK. This is no great surprise to us. The customers us traders meet are always on the lookout for a bargain and on our markets they nearly always find one.

Norfolk holds the following markets on a weekly basis - try them and experience a real slice of Norfolk life and characters

Tuesday - King's Lynn, Stalham
Wednesday - Sheringham (April-October), Watton
Thursday - Fakenham, North Walsham
Friday - Cromer, Diss, Dereham,Wymondham
Saturday - Sheringham (Probably the best Saturday market there is - even if we are biased!)
and Swaffham

Add to this tons of history, museums, churches, cathedrals, castles, zoos, wildlife, seal trips and lots more and you have yourself the perfect holiday.

Include North Norfolk in your plans this summer - you won't be disappointed!

Check out the local markets and you'll be supporting the local economy and bringing independent business to the fore once more.
