Norwich Free Shop is held opposite Lush on Gentleman’s Walk on the 8th of every month.

It was set up in 2004 by a group of volunteers who wanted to challenge the idea that everything should have a monetary value.

Jo Chapman, one of the volunteers, said: “The basic model is similar to a bring and buy sale in terms that people can take things along and take something away on the same day.

“But there’s no financial exchange and no one is obligated to do either.

“It’s really started to take momentum and some people really cannot get over the fact that we really, really don’t want any money.

“The Free Shop is complementary to ideas like Freecycle but that requires you to have computer access and in many cases you need to have a vehicle. But we’re in a regular place and a regular time.”
