Great Yarmouth Market

Great Yarmouth Market is one of the oldest and largest town markets in the UK, dating back to the early medieval period. Whether you are looking for fresh produce, bargain clothing or traditional seaside treats, the market is well worth a visit.

What to Find

The covered section of the market is open six days a week, selling everything from fresh fish and chips to groceries, household items and clothing. A larger open-air market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday year round, with additional stalls offering antiques, crafts and local specialities.

The Rows
