Cromer Friday Market

More traders are needed at Cromer Friday Market.
The market is situated next to a brand new tourist information centre in the town and has suffered some disruption while works at the tourist centre were carried out. Things are back to normal now but more traders are needed to make the market attractive to visitors.

You will need to contact the Market Manager at North Norfolk District Council for further information re pitch rents and to give details of what you would like to sell there.

Check out the link below for further information

Enjoy trading on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, Cromer is full of attractions, great shops, places to eat, amusements, visit the famous Cromer Pier for shows, a stroll and wonderful views of the beach.
Next Wednesday Cromer Carnival takes place with a flypast by the Red Arrows.
Cromer is not far from Sheringham, visit Sheringham market too!

Fresh Food at Sheringham Market

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...


Fishbox Foods

You can't have a coastal market without a fish stall! Visit Fishbox Foods for a wonderful variety of delicious crustaceans, winkles, cockles and lots more. All served with a friendly smile, we know you'll be back for more.

Thought for the day

It is time to stop being complacent and do as much as can be done to save an important part of our heritage and local independent businesses. Lots of people value our markets but we need to bring in the people who wouldn't normally consider shopping at a market.

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

This blog is to tell the world how great Sheringham Market is.
The market takes place every Saturday and Wednesday (March-October).
The Weds market starts the week before Easter and goes on until end Oct.
We want to encourage more people to come to Sheringham and enjoy shopping on our wonderful market.Sheringham is a coastal town in North Norfolk, a charming place to visit at any time of year.

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.

Why is it good to support your local market, or visit markets in Norfolk and elsewhere?

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.

We hope you enjoy reading about Sheringham market. Feel free to add your comments, we want to know what you think.
