A happy boutique of rainbow-​infused beauties, magical smells and fabulous fun in the charming and award-​winning Norwich Lanes.

History

Established in 1971.

Head In The Clouds was opened in Norwich by Martin Wyatt on 31 March 1971, although we generally celebrate our anniversary on April Fool’s Day. It is now the oldest headshop in the UK, and we strive to continue the hippie ethos with a groovy, love and peace atmosphere of incense and laughter.

It is a characterful, charming and slightly crazy independent family-​run boutique with a friendly crew of enthusiastic staff.

As others have said hippy heaven about covers it. Tucked away on The Lanes, it could be a little hard to find for anyone who doesn’t know the area.
A shop with a distinct scent, they have a large ranges of gift ideas, also stocking clothing, gems and hairdye (I was in here frequently during my pink hair days!).
The staff are always friendly and helpful too.

Hippies are us lol. Have spent many an hour browsing all the weird and wonderful novelty items. Insence, joss sticks, drug related paraphenalia. May even be able to pick up some tye-​dye equipment. A nice tranquil little haven that has a distinct aroma.

Other people have said it but it’s true, hippy heaven! I always go here to get insense sticks, they have a wide range and are quite cheap. Apart from the varied (and sometimes unusual gifts they have), I also like the fabric and scarves that they have on offer though most come away with a certain smell!

Head in the clouds. feet on the ground. A little hippy haven in the lanes area of Norwich. Whether you want to buy an alternative gift for someone, some joss sticks, or some floaty fabric clothing, Head in the Clouds is the place for you! This shop has been here for as long as I can remember, and I have spent many times picking up a gem of a gift over the years. Silk scarves, ethnic jewellery, all at very good prices.
Check out the notice board nearby too — packed full of useful information with everything from vegan restaurants, to yoga classes, to protest details.

An Aladins cave or unique and quirky clothing & gifts, next door is feet on the ground. The shop is very new-​age. The staff are beautiful people who love their job and are more then happy to help. If you are looking for some unique gifts this is the place to go.

Interesting clothing and herbal scents for the hippy in you.
There’s lots of craft and handmade items as well as some great smells to follow you around the shop.
Friendly staff will help you and often open to bargain for a discount.
It’s almost more of a market feel rather than a shop. They are located on a pedestrianized street close to Tesco Metro and are part of the Norwich lanes area. They are sandwiched next to a sandwich shop and the hair dressers formerly owned by a Big Brother contestant Craig.
