A big three-day Christmas shopping show at the Norfolk Showground outside Norwich, with almost 300 exhibitors across an exhibition hall, barns and marquees.
The Norfolk Festive Gift & Food Show celebrated its 25th year in 2025 and fills the Norfolk Showground, just off the A47 Norwich southern bypass, with almost 300 stallholders over three days in November. The organisers say it draws around 16,000 visitors a year.
Shopping is spread across the main exhibition hall, Christmas barns, an outside marquee and outdoor stalls - gifts, decorations, handmade crafts and plenty of festive food and drink - with live music and a café.
Tickets are for a chosen day and arrival slot, after which you can stay until closing at 4pm; cheaper afternoon tickets are available from 1.30pm. Parking is free, dogs on leads are allowed, and buggies can't go inside the main building (there's a free buggy park at the entrance). Carers go free.
