Antique/Market Shopping

If you love antiques, then England is the right place for you! Everywhere you look, shops and markets are brimming with antiques and nic-nacs. And most of them are reasonably priced!

Waterside Antiques - located in Ely, about 25 minutes from RAF Mildenhall, this three-story antique shop is a lot of fun to look around. I go here quite often and have found some VERY good deals and some VERY overpriced items, too. But, I still keep going back! The staff are very friendly and it's located right along the River Ouse, next to Peacocks Tea Room (but that's another post).

Norwich Market - located in Norwich, about an hour from RAF Mildenhall, Norwich Market has just about everything you can imagine. And because of recent renovations, almost all of the stands are covered, making shopping in the English rain a little easier! It's actually the largest weekly open-air market in England. The market is open daily from Monday to Saturday. Love this one!

Cambridge General Market - located in Cambridge, about 25 minutes from RAF Mildenhall, the Cambridge Market is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4 pm. They have a little bit of everything. There are centrally located, in the very heart of Cambridge. There is a booth there that I always stop at - they squeeze organic fruit juice right in front of you and sell frozen organic treats in the summer - so yummy.
