The Historical Market Place covers an area of approximately 5400 metres in the Town Centre and is presumed to have existed prior to the granting of its Charter in 1208. The Market Place is home to a permanent 6-day covered market located within a brand new purpose built structure completed in 2023 complimented by an extended selection of market stalls on the 2-day market.
The Six Day Market consists of a wide variety of stalls of varying sizes selling fruit and vegetables, refreshments, fresh fish, Seafood, fresh meat, bread; cakes, ice cream, pizza, pies and peas, mac ‘n’ cheese, flowers, clothing, cards, mobile phone accessories, watches, batteries, key cutting and shoe repairs plus a wide selection of hot food and of course Great Yarmouth’s famous Market chips. The traditional chip stalls are world-renowned and offer a delicious option for lunch whilst enjoying the new seating area in the south end of the Covered Market.
The Two Day Market is a general market held each Wednesday and Saturday with approximately 40 traders, consisting of a great variety of goods, from the latest in fashion to garden accessories.
To meet the summer demand there is a Friday market (May to September) held on the Two Day Market area, with similar stalls to the Wednesday and Saturday market.
