A shopping village has seen customers flock from far and wide to visit thanks to its vibrant mix of independent businesses.
Hellesdon Barns, on the outskirts of Norwich, is a shopping complex home to Millbank Sectional Buildings, Potmania, Curtains and Curiosities, Plantmania, Hold Fast Tattoo and newcomers Emporium Norwich and Doxi Cocktails.
Marcela da Costa opened Emporium Norwich in February 2023 selling her handmade chocolates, including the Brazillian delicacy Brigadeiros.

Magnolia Assis-Millbank, who owns Hellesdon Barns with her husband Paul, said: "People are travelling from many parts of the country to visit the chocolate shop, who have previously ordered online or visited a pop-up."
The outdoor Plantmania, with a range of plants and trees, has also recently increased in size to offer more choice to customers.
Finally, Doxi Cocktails is opening on April 30, after securing an alcohol licence, and it will sell its bottled cocktails alongside local wines, craft beers, spirits and homewares.
Amy Hargreaves, who runs it with partner Steven Cole, said: "We wanted to have our own shop and Hellesdon Barns is perfect as it is all Norfolk producers and brands."
