The town's Friday market has traded continuously for over 800 years. The Corn Hall arts centre hosts regular events and reflects the community's cultural engagement. Diss railway station on the Norwich–London Liverpool Street mainline gives the town strong commuter appeal, attracting quality-conscious homeowners from London who invest in premium home improvements including renewable energy.
