About Us

Located close to Norwich City centre, Cookes is a substantial independent music store divided into several showrooms for Guitars & Amps, the largest Drum showroom in the region, PA & Lighting and DJ & Recording.

Matthew Morrison (fifth generation of Cooke family business) and the team of sales and backroom staff want your custom, big or small. We'll go the 'extra mile' to keep you coming back.

There are single yellow lines outside the shop making it easy to collect those larger purchases like Drum Kits and PA systems, please call us instore for more information.

In 2012 the Cooke family (pictured below) and their descendants will have been selling musical instruments, without interruption, in Norwich for 125 years!
