Wymondham Friday Market
The town was granted the rights to hold a Friday market and a winter fair by Henry I, confirmed by King John in 1203, and later, after a petition by the burgesses supported by Sir John Clifton, by Henry VI who also granted two other fairs to be held in the spring and autumn. There has been a market every Friday since. With improved road and railway connections in the mid to late 19th century the Friday market is said to have declined but has recovered and continues to thrive today.
The Friday market is open from 9am to 4pm every Friday and the following goods and services are currently on offer:
Fish and seasonal game
Meat
Ladies Fashions
Hair and beauty products
Ladies and Gents underwear
Flowers and plants
Means wear
Double glazing
Ladies wear
Dried fruit and health foods
Luggage, books, ornaments and utensils
Fruit and vegetables
Household products
Sweets and chocolate
Quality hot dogs
There is often a charity stall as well
"Everything you need for the weekly shop at prices that are difficult to undercut."
