Norwich is one of England’s top five shopping destinations and shopping in Norwich is a wonderful way to spend the day.

The city is home to two vibrant shopping centres. The Castle Mall boasts a variety of leading high street stores and independent retailers, eleven restaurants and cafes and Vue, a fantastic eight screen cinema which shows all the latest blockbusters.

Located right in the heart of Norwich city, with over 80 shops (including the largest House of Fraser outside of London) and 17 tempting cafes and restaurants, the modern, architecturally stunning Chapelfield Mall offers a fantastic new shopping experience. Chapelfield Mall features a variety of leading high street stores such as Mango, Oasis, Warehouse, Zara, French Connection, Monsoon and many more.

Norwich city also boasts the largest open-air market place in the country. Refurbished in 2006, there’s been a market in Norwich since Saxon times and it’s been on its current site 900 years! Under a sea of multicoloured roof tops, 190 stalls sell everything from fresh flowers and organic local produce to jewellery and fish and chips! Open 6 (six) days a week.

Built in 1899 and styled by local architect George Skipper, the Victorian Royal arcade embodies the character of classic art nouveau. Today it provides the setting for a mixture of independent retailers and is home to the famous Colman’s Mustard Shop and Museum.
