Regular Events
Thursday Market
North Walsham’s weekly general market is held
every Thursday in the Market Place and has been
held for about 750 years. The market benefits from
being run by the Town Council (holders of the
charter) and not by the District Council as many
others are.
The market consists of a core of some 15 stalls with
other casual stalls coming from time to time, just
about filling the Market Place to its capacity.
The stalls cover a very wide range of goods
and produce, including clothes, fruit and veg, cards and stationery, deli/groceries, wool/textile/
haberdashery, art and craft, eggs, cakes, pastries, jewellery, wet fish, flowers and plants, home
delivered meals and sweets.
In addition to those stalls we also regularly have charity stalls so you can discover more about RSPB,
Good Neighbours, RAFA, Macmillan, Big C and many others.
We also encourage buskers to visit the Market Place on market days, adding to the ‘atmosphere’ of
our busy market and making it an even better place to visit.
Farmers’ Market
North Walsham’s monthly Farmers’ Market is held
on the last Sunday of each month in the Market
Place, except in December when it’s the last
Sunday before Christmas..
This market has now been running for over 8 years
and was started to satisfy local demand for good
home-produced or grown goods.
The market is now slowly expanding with more
stalls regularly being added so that there are now
25 registered traders with about 10/12 regular
attendees each month.
The stalls cover a wide range of local produced or grown goods including pork, lamb, wet fish,
preserves, savoury pastries, bread, cakes, sweets, beer, cider, flowers, plants and a range of arts and
crafts stalls including picture frames, jewellery, etc.
We usually have a hot food and drink stall with table and chairs so allowing you to sit and enjoy
the time.
We also encourage buskers to visit the Market Place on market days, adding to the ‘atmosphere’ of
