Flea markets in Norway

Loppemarked is the Norwegian word for flea market. FleaMarket.no is the overview of flea markets, second-hand shops and reuse across Norway. If you are searching in Norwegian, the word is loppemarked — it is the same thing, and the same listings.

FleaMarket.no is an overview of flea markets and second-hand shops in Norway. The database holds 2 315 places in 277 of the country's municipalities — second-hand shops, charity shops, municipal reuse stations and flea markets — with address, map and opening hours where we have them.

What sets this apart is that every listing shows the date it was last confirmed. 99 places have been confirmed against the chain's own shop page or by the shop itself. The rest come from the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and are marked unconfirmed, so you know what to trust before you set off.

The flea market season in Norway has two peaks: March to May, and September to October. Outside the season it is the second-hand shops that are open.

What is a loppemarked

Flea market, second-hand shop and reuse station — the difference

A loppemarked — a flea market — is a temporary sale of used goods, usually run by a school marching band, a sports club, a women's health association or a parish as volunteer work. It typically lasts one to three days, and the takings go to the organisation.

A bruktbutikk or gjenbruksbutikk — a second-hand or charity shop — keeps regular opening hours all year. Some are commercial, others are run by charities such as Fretex, UFF, NMS Gjenbruk and Kirkens Bymisjon. We keep them apart in the list, because the difference is real for anyone looking.

An ombruksstasjon is a municipal reuse station, usually at the recycling centre. You can both drop off and pick up usable things there, often free of charge.

Mottak av lopper is the donation week before the market itself, when the organiser takes in the things people want to give away. It is often what people are really looking for beforehand, and it has its own listing here.

Season

When are flea markets held in Norway?

Flea markets follow the school year, because the bands and sports clubs do. That gives two clear seasons: March to May in spring, and September to October in autumn. July is practically empty.

Based on 47 dated market weekends found on Norwegian organisers' own pages, September 2026.
The sample was gathered in autumn, so spring markets are probably under-represented. We say so rather than leave the caveat out.

Questions and answers

What people ask about flea markets in Norway

When is the flea market season in Norway?

There are two seasons. Spring runs from March to May, concentrated in March and April. Autumn runs from September to October. The seasons follow the school year because most flea markets are run by school bands and sports clubs as volunteer work. In July there are almost none.

How do I find a flea market near me?

Use the map, which shows both flea markets and permanent second-hand shops in your municipality. You can filter by category and by whether a place is open right now. Flea markets are dated; second-hand shops are open all year.

Who runs flea markets in Norway?

Mainly school marching bands, sports clubs, women's health associations, scout groups and parishes. For many school bands the flea market is the single biggest source of income for the year, and pays for instruments and a conductor. We know of 2 631 such organisations in 334 municipalities.

What is the difference between a flea market and a second-hand shop?

A flea market is temporary, lasts one to three days, and is run as volunteer work by a non-profit. A second-hand shop keeps regular opening hours all year and is run either commercially or by a charity. Both sell used goods, but you find them in completely different ways — which is why both are in the same overview here.

Where can I donate used things?

Most flea markets take donations the week before the market. This is called mottak av lopper, and it has its own listing with its own dates here. Outside the season, second-hand shops and municipal reuse stations take usable things all year round. What condition they require varies, so check the listing first.

Is the information on FleaMarket.no up to date?

Every listing shows the date it was last confirmed, and by whom. 99 places have been confirmed against the chain's own shop page or by the shop itself. The rest come from the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and are marked unconfirmed — they are in the register, but nobody has checked that the shop is actually open. We do not hide the difference, because driving forty minutes to a shop that closed last year is the worst thing that can happen to you here.

How do we submit our flea market?

Fill in the form for organisers. It takes under two minutes and needs no account. It is free, and will always be free for voluntary clubs and associations. If you run one every year, you can set it up once — next year's market then appears by itself.

Does FleaMarket.no cost anything?

No. The overview is free to use and free to be listed in. No shop or organiser can buy their way onto the map, or buy their way out of an old confirmation date.

Sources and method

Where the numbers come from

We name the source for every single listing. That lets both you and a search engine check us:

  • Enhetsregisteret, the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises — companies registered under industry code 47.790, retail sale of second-hand goods, plus name searches across other codes.
  • Frivillighetsregisteret, the Register of Non-Profit Organisations — the clubs and associations that run flea markets.
  • Geonorge, the Norwegian Mapping Authority — address geocoding. 119 % of places are placed at an exact street address.
  • The chains' own shop pages — Fretex, UFF, NMS Gjenbruk and Kirkens Bymisjon, for opening hours and contact details.
  • The organisers themselves — through the submission form, which is the strongest source we have.

Bankruptcy or deletion in the business register feeds straight through to the listing. Nothing disappears quietly: a place that is gone is marked closed, with a reason.
