A shopping event is taking place in Norwich to help shoppers get ahead of the Christmas rush.

Etsy Made Local will be returning to the fine city this December and organisers are hoping that this years event will be 'bigger than ever'.

Returning for its third the event will bring online sellers from the site Etsy,com, offline and into the local communities where they sell.

The event in Norwich is one of 42 going on across the country between December 1 and December 3.

The Norwich event will be taking place at the Assembly House on December 3.

The event will feature the cafe and restaurant of the Assembly House with illustrations, homewares, jewellery, ceramics, clothing, art, design, stationery and vegan food on sale.

Shoppers will be able to view the range of wares while also meeting the designers behind the products.
