Brigg street
leading to
haymarket

If you’ve been in Norwich City on a Saturday afternoon then you know just how busy Haymarket gets.

​

Haymarket in Norwich is a historically important place that has served a variety of purposes throughout its history. For many centuries, the market was the central place of trade and commerce in Norwich. It was where local people gathered to buy and sell goods, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. 

​

The Haymarket Chambers, identifiable by the arches on the façade, were built in 1902. They used to house the International Tea Company's stores. They now house Pret a Manger.
