The month of May saw a colourful event take place in the city of Norwich, in the East of England. One of the members of the EMU, the Islamic Community of Norwich, in conjunction with the Open Trade Network, a Norwich-based organisation, which aims to promote an alternative model of trade by actively supporting local and independent producers and businesses, organised a two-day market in the city centre. The event was organised on the principle of a free market: stallholders were not charged a fee for space.
