Marketplace
Your Norjam Hub.
Need a bite to eat? Some great merch?
Say hello to The Marketplace!
We’re doing things bigger and better for Norjam 2025.
The Marketplace is your ultimate place to eat, catch up with friends and grab yourself some awesome Norjam goodies.
We’ll be joined by street food vendors, great stall holders offering something a bit different and we’re super excited what you can buy in our shop!
We’re preferring contactless on site but vendors will be accepting card and cash.

Food Vendors
Feeling peckish? We’ve got you.
Our Marketplace will be full of tasty treats throughout the week!
We’ve enlisted the help of some brilliant external vendors to give you lots of variety while on camp.
They will be reponsible for their own stalls, so do go and say hello if you have any questions.
Food prices will vary depending on item and how much you get, but vendors will be making their menus affordable as it’s a Jamboree!
Most can cater for dietary requirements, so do get in touch with them beforehand, or while at the event and they can guide you further.
This line-up is correct at the time of publishing but may be subject to change. The Marketplace is open 10am-10pm but times may vary across vendors and stalls.
The Vendors:
Market Stalls
Lots to see and essentials to grab!
We’ve got a whole selection of market stalls that will be bringing activities to do and interesting things to buy!
Stalls are provided by external vendors unless stated so feel free to ask them any questions you might have!
Our Stalls:
On Thursday 14th & Friday 15th August, we’ll be joined in the Marketplace by Norwich Foodbank.
If you have any surplus food, or can spare a can or item to help someone in Norfolk please consider dropping it off.
Donations are often down during the warmer summer months as people are busier, so we’re hoping we can give Norwich Foodbank a real boost and help lots of people across Norfolk!
And if you’re local to Norfolk, why not chat to them to see how your group could help them out?
Norjam Emporium
Our Norjam shop has some MEGA merchandise!
Want to remember your Norjam experience?
We’ve got an amazing bunch of products to never forget the most epic week of camp.
From badges to water bottles, bucket hats to socks and even t-shirts and hoodies – you’ll be spoilt for choice!
Items start at £1 for a badge or pen to the likes of £24 for an adults hoodie.
We will only sell the stock we have so if there’s something you really like – be sure to get it early!
