Chester Market has began an exciting new chapter in its history with a move to a new purpose-built market hall at the heart of the Northgate development. The vision driving the new market is to be a ‘modern traditional market’ that takes the best of the new breed of thriving city produce markets such as Borough Market in London, Barcelona market, combined with communal foodhall markets such as Altrincham and Liverpool’s Baltic.

Please note all food and beverage stalls for consumption in the market are now taken, and there is a waiting list for produce or goods stalls.

Please see our current trader line-up before enquiring to ensure you are not duplicating an existing trader.

Our Vision

The people of Chester have shared with us what matters to them about a market. We held extensive consultation events which have informed the Chester Market Vision & Manifesto. We have set high standards for traders, event organisers and our staff to deliver the best market possible. The vision driving the new market is to be a ‘modern traditional market.’

From nutrition to sustainability, creativity to inclusivity we can’t wait to share the good times ahead and we want only the best traders who share our ambitions to be part of the new market. It establishes the principles, quality and pricing standards and environmental imperatives for users of the market and the way the market is managed.

We need traders to sign-up to our Market Manifesto, and demonstrate how they will play their part and work with us in partnership to deliver its key principles:

Good for the Planet

Good for Chester

Good for Gatherings

Good for Good Food

Good for the Community
