Great Yarmouth Market Place

Great Yarmouth has been a market town since at least the early 11^th century and has recently been redeveloped to offer market traders a unique place to operate from.

New units under the architecturally striking canopy have been designed to ensure the market is more inviting to customers, provide shelter and generally complements the historic setting.

The centrally located market has welcomed new and existing traders. The Market Place offers an array of products and services including fresh produce, hot and cold food, flowers, clothing, services and of course the famous Great Yarmouth chip stalls.

Most of the stalls on the new Market Place have been let. As of March 2025 there are two small stalls available.  If you would like to be added to a waiting list please register your interest and let us know what you are planning to sell on the market by completing our application form.
