Christmas is coming! It’s a time when clusters of stalls brimming with unique gifts and bedecked in twinkling lights begin popping up across the county. As is the norm in Norwich, we like to do traditional a little differently. Here, we prefer to host an offering of smaller, more intimate artisan Christmas markets (and if you like a theme, you’ve come to the right place!). From mid-November until the thrill of Christmas Eve’s arrival, you’ll discover something pretty much every weekend (and some weekdays).
