Norwich Vegans Christmas Market

The Norwich Vegans Christmas Market is a free, community-run event on Sunday 22 November 2026 in The Atrium at The Forum, the big glass-fronted civic building on Millennium Plain in the centre of Norwich. It is organised by Norwich Vegans, a volunteer-led community group, and it is the earliest of the UK vegan Christmas markets in our list, so it suits anyone who likes to get their shopping done before December.

The market is fully vegan and describes itself as supporting the planet, animals and small businesses. That shows in the line-up: stallholders in 2025 included Norfolk Wildlife Trust alongside local vegan street food and independent makers. Expect a smaller, friendlier event than the paid shows in the south west, with a mix of gifts, snacks, hot drinks and information stalls, and a good chance of meeting people from the local vegan scene. We would check the Norwich Vegans Instagram nearer the date for the final stallholder list.

Opening hours are 10:00 to 16:00 and entry is free. The market is mainly indoors in the atrium, with some food stalls out front on the plain, so wrap up warm if you want a hot drink outside. The Forum is right next to City Hall and the open-air market, a short walk from the cathedral quarter, and Norwich railway station is a walk or short bus ride away across the river. It is also home to a library, a cafe and a restaurant, so there is plenty to do if you want to stay in the building.

The date is worth double-checking: The Forum listing shows Sunday 22 November, which only matches 2026, because the 2025 market was on 23 November. The group's old website no longer resolves, so use their Instagram and The Forum's what's-on page for updates.
