A major department store in Norwich is preparing to host its first Christmas market.

John Lewis, in All Saints Green, will welcome a selection of local makers from Monday, November 25 until Sunday, December 1.

The event is a collaboration with the chain's partner Indie Pop which specialises in bringing small brands in front of a larger audience.

Nick Crowe, the store's deputy branch manager, said: "This festive season we're very excited to be hosting a Christmas market with Indie Pop.

"We'll be welcoming some wonderful local brands to our shop - from Crafty Gifts, Ozabelle Jewellery and Sozni Kashmir Crafts - which will cater for all our customers' gifting needs.

"And even better - it's located right by our Benugo coffee shops, so our customers can also enjoy award-winning coffee while they browse."

Natasha Delgado founded the permanent jewellery welding service Ozabelle Jewellery just last month and said she is thrilled to have been given this opportunity so soon. 

"I feel extremely lucky to have been chosen out of the many applicants to pop up in such an established retailer and at such a busy time of year," she said.

"The permanent jewellery industry is still very new to the UK, but it's rapidly growing and it feels amazing to be at the forefront of it - I can't wait to help people from Norwich create a weld of their own this festive season."
