With over 180 stalls selling everything from vintage clothing to herbs and spices, Norwich Market has something for everyone.

These are some of our favourite hidden gems found on Norwich Market.

And Eat It

With fantastic vegan options, And Eat It is a bright and friendly stall right at the heart of the market. With the most delicious flavour combinations, the stall bloomed from a home business to a fully fledged shop. They also offer delicious gluten free options, so everyone is catered for here. If you can try their Slutty Brownie – you’ll be able to taste why And Eat It is so successful!

Planted

Lots of plants in small pots are lined up on several wooden shelves, a chipboard backing is behind them.

At Planted you can expect to find a wide range of succulents and flowering plants. They even have air plants growing inside a lightbulb – yes, you read that right! They’re very budget-friendly, with stock including flower pots, handmade plant hangars and terrariums of all shapes and sizes. Perfect for decorating your new student room.

Taxi Vintage Clothing

A wide range of clothes from the 1940s to the early 1990s hang on these rails — and they’re all fantastic quality. With a friendly stall owner and a reasonable price for every piece, Taxi Vintage Clothing is your source for bright clothes across the decades.

Herbs and Spices

If you don’t want to visit the stall from his face alone, then you definitely will with the huge selection of herbs and spices on the back wall. The name doesn’t lie, there’s about every type of seasoning you can think of sold here, from every corner of the world. Everything from Turkish figs and smoked pimenton paprika to sumac and vanilla pods can be found somewhere on this stall. Bold flavours aren’t reserved for eating out; get creative in the kitchen and treat yourself to something special from the comfort of your own home.

Water + Earth

Water + Earth specialises in ethical soap and other eco-friendly products. There’s no palm oil to be found anywhere in the stall, so you can keep feeling good about smelling nice. They also strive to source goods with minimal packaging impact on the planet, whilst providing many refillable and compostable options.

Yarn & Craft Store

A set of white cubed shelving is stuffed with balls of yarn of a host of colours.

Always willing to listen and help with your next big project, the Yarn & Craft Store is a helpful place for all your crafty needs. They sell much more than yarn — felt, zips, elastic, needles and hooks can also be spotted on the stall. They aim to post out orders every day, and even home deliveries when possible!

Brick Pizza

Pizza just tastes different at Brick. Their pizzas are made from slow rising dough and baked in a wood-burning brick oven – sounds like heaven on any day. Tucked away at the side of the market, they have an outdoor seating area and delicious beers on tap. With a welcoming atmosphere, lovely staff and quick service, you won’t regret paying them a visit. A must see for any pizza lovers in Norwich.
