Chester Market

A new pop-up outdoor eating area is now open to coincide with relaxing of the lockdown rules for cafes and restaurants.

Located in courtyard area to the rear of the Forum Shopping Centre, Market Al Fresco will allow Chester Market to revive its popular Foodie Friday and Saturday evening openings which were closed once the COVID-19 lockdown came into force in March.

Formerly the quadrangle in front of the Gateway Theatre, the courtyard will be carefully managed to ensure the latest guidelines on social distancing will be met whilst enabling customers to enjoy the wide range of food and drink available from the market.

The Market Al Fresco will be open daily from 10am until 5pm and on Friday and Saturday until 10pm; with tables carefully spaced to allow for approx. 40 customers at a time.

The main indoor market will be open daily from 10am until 5pm Monday to Saturday.

In line with the guidance and for your safety, we will be managing the number of customers entering the market and putting in measures to maintain social distancing, avoid congestion and maximise hygiene.

In line with Government requirements from July 24 on wearing face masks in shops, this will also apply to Chester Market.
