Chester Market
Chester Market is a marketplace located in the heart of Chester, housed within Chester Northgate since November 2022. It features numerous food stalls, craft vendors, flowers, and various other goods arranged across multiple areas with seating for dining and socializing.
The marketplace took nearly 30 years to develop into its current form, representing a modern evolution of Chester's long-standing trading tradition. Its relocation to the new site in 2022 marked a turning point that transformed how the city center feels and functions.
The market serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come together to shop, eat, and socialize. This reflects Chester's long tradition of markets as spaces where the community meets and exchanges goods and stories.
The market is open Tuesday through Saturday with most food stalls operating into the evening, while Sunday sees earlier hours for produce stalls. Entry is through an archway into the Coachworks Arcade, and visitors will find clean restroom facilities and various seating areas throughout.
The market features a large-scale Lego model of Chester displayed in a dedicated space that raises funds for charities and serves as a popular attraction for visitors and photographers. Traditional traders such as Geoff Hughes Butchers relocated to the new space, bridging the market's older heritage with modern design.
