** Taste of Cheshire Award Winner at the Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards 2024**
Chester’s new award-winning market offers a vibrant selection of produce and goods together with a fantastic choice of authentic global foods all under one roof. Since opening in late 2022 it has now welcomed over 3 million visitors.
The driving force behind the new market has been to create a ‘modern traditional market’ in a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy – where you really can shop local and eat global.
Open 6 days a week throughout the day and evening, with a choice of seating areas, inside and al fresco, natural light, stylish oak stalls, fully accessible and with a brand new 800-space car park next door. Awards have included for best Social Space in the Northern Design Awards, a Taste of Cheshire award from Marketing Cheshire and a Market Industry Trade Award for Best New Market, alongside a host of awards for our traders and our customer service. There is lots more to discover too - Chester in Lego, heritage stories, live music, events and art exhibitions.
