This is a city with an independent spirit. At Christmas, we light up. Are lighthearted. Our famous Lanes are lit with stars and fitted out with sketches on windows, weird and wonderful displays of bracelets and books and boxes of jelly slugs for you to take home. Norwich at Christmas is traditionally different.
What would a Christmas market be without a little shopping? It’s the perfect place to purchase a little something for your nearest and dearest! Here, we prefer to host an offering of smaller, more intimate Christmas markets.
You won’t have any trouble finding Christmas presents in Norwich! The city is full of independent shops and high street favourites, selling a range of unique gifts, trinkets and more.
