Norwich City Market is being reimagined to better serve the community while preserving its historic character. The council has unveiled new plans following a public consultation earlier this year to ensure our magical medieval market continues to attract thousands of shoppers and tourists for many more years to come.
Norwich market is an ancient and historic landmark in the beating heart of our city.
Dating back over 900 years, Norwich Market is one of the oldest and largest open-air markets in the UK.
While we want to retain its historical identity and cultural strengths we are determined to ensure the market has a sustainable future ensuring it remains an attractive, vibrant, and thriving place for local people, visitors and tourists to experience for decades to come.
We have released our new plans which are available on our Get Talking Norwich platform which are open to comments from the public until 4 January 2026 or check out the full story.
