Events - Markets
Every Friday a traditional market is held in the town with a great diversity of wares for sale in the Market Place and along Market Hill. Gone are the cattle markets, but in their place are stalls selling everything from locally produced fruit & veg, and specialist fine cheeses to Country clothes, nighties and other domestic and garden products – as well as the best chips either side of the border!
On the 2nd Saturday of every month the Diss Farmer's Market is at the Market Place from 9am to 1pm. This is the place to buy locally produced food direct from the producers: vegetables grown for flavour and with minimal chemicals, beef and pork, free range eggs, home made fudge, apples and apple juice, jams, pickles and cakes, preserves, shrubs, crafts and more. There is now an active support group that organises live music and a raffle and keeps the atmosphere lively.
On the first & third Saturday of each month (weather permitting) you will find the fleamarket stalls set out in the Market place. Here you can rummage through bric-a-brac, books and old treasures to find your bargain.
