Every Saturday you will find Brian our friendly butcher selling lovely fresh meat and eggs.Always ready with a cheeky smile and a bit of banter, we love this photo of him - boasting again Brian?
With barbecue season here (we'll ignore the bank holiday rain and high winds), check out the sausages and burgers - perfect for the outdoor grill, mmm...

Thought for the day
Markets bring valuable tourism to our rural and coastal towns. Markets are an environmentally friendly way to shop. Markets create a lively social, community atmosphere which benefits young and old alike. Those who are unable to travel further afield to shop understand and value the benefits of shopping at their local markets.
Friendly and personal service every time.
Visit Sheringham Market, every Wednesday March-October, every Saturday throughout the year.
Contact North Norfolk District Council and tell them how much you value your local market.
Look out for the new Sheringham Market leaflets now being distributed, describing the goods sold at Sheringham Market, join the campaign to Shout about Sheringham Market!

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.
