Venus Vinyl

Discovering Vinyl Treasures

Step into Venus Vinyl on Magdalen Street, where racks brim with over 3,000 vinyl records spanning every genre imaginable—from rare imports and limited editions to new releases and reissues. Founded in 2014 as a market stall in London's Broadway Market, the shop evolved through pop-ups and festivals before settling permanently in Norwich in 2021. Music lovers appreciate the carefully curated selection, with personalized descriptions highlighting what makes each record special.

Craft Beer and Browsing Bliss

What sets Venus Vinyl apart is its unique fusion of records and craft beer. Browse limited-edition pressings while sipping on top craft cans, thanks to the shop's license allowing customers to drink on-site. This laid-back vibe encourages lingering, turning a simple shopping trip into a social music experience. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to recommend finds or source specific titles not in stock.

Specializing in the rarest vinyls, Venus Vinyl often secures exclusive imports unavailable elsewhere in the UK. Events like Record Store Day bring frenzied excitement with first-come, first-served limited drops. The shop's online presence complements the physical space, offering subscriptions tailored to personal tastes and same-day delivery options.
