Chester Market is celebrating a major milestone as the venue reaches its second birthday today. The award-winning site first opened its doors on November 8, 2022 and has since welcomed nearly five million customers through its doors. The market was praised for 'transforming' Chester city centre , with an array of food and drink offerings as well as traders operating out of the Northgate premises. Since the ribbon was cut on the venue two years ago, it has gone from strength to strength.
The market has been recognised by industry experts for setting a new benchmark in how to revive an existing market and pioneer improvements such as extended opening hours, providing a broader range of goods and authentic street food options plus creating a vibrant and inclusive social space that has increased footfall five-fold compared to the old market’s last year of operation in 2021.
