Markets are held every Wednesday of the year (except sometimes between Christmas and New Year) on Joss Lane town centre car park adjacent to the Information and Book Centre. The market plays an important role in the life of the town; it provides a focus (along with the coffee mornings in the Cornerstone Community Church Rooms on Joss Lane nearby, the Library on Main Street and a morning church service) for residents, especially from outlying districts, to meet, catch up and stock up.
Chester Town Hall comes alive the third Saturday of every month with the Taste of Cheshire Farmers Market. The outdoor market brings together about 30 Cheshire-based suppliers, giving visitors access to quality local produce
Torphins Market is Scotland's only weekly outdoor market that runs throughout the year every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm, whatever the weather!
We also hold Seasonal Saturday Markets which promote arts, crafts and local causes too.
This exciting array of fresh produce – from vegetables, fruits and juices to locally-reared meats and delicious artisan bakes and makes – is a wonderful start to the weekend. Stalls do sell out so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
In 1285, Edward I granted the village of Shipbourne permission to hold a weekly market. In May 2003, with the help of a grant from Rural Revival, the Parochial Church Council re-inaugurated the market.
