Chester's Christmas Market returns next month, with 80 stalls featuring local traders.

From 19 November to 22 December, Chester's Christmas Market will return to Town Hall Square - featuring an array of local producers, craftsfolk and artisans.

Each of the 80 stalls will be unique, with no overlap on products sold and a strong focus on local North West-based traders.

Food offerings will include pulled pork, salt beef sandwiches, or Cumberland sausages - whilst the drinks selection includes mulled wine, gin, hot winter rum, Baileys hot chocolate and hot cider.

Expect stocking fillers aplenty - from local, wax-sealed cheeses to handmade fudge, locally-brewed gin and beers, silver jewellery, candles and skin care.

Festive gifts on offer will include handmade pottery, tableware and garden ornaments by Josh Johnson Ceramics; candles, diffusers and more by The Cheshire Candle company; and handmade body products, cold pressed soaps and shaving bars by Omeda Crafts.

There is also eye-catching tie-dyed clothing and socks by SOX, alongside silver jewellery created by the mother and daughter duo behind Roccabella jewellery.

There will also be live music on the weekend evenings. For more information on the Christmas market, you can visit here. 

Alongside the market, Chester Town Hall will also be hosting its annual Christmas Grotto.

Attendees can meer Santa's elves, Sparkle & Jingle, who will offer arts and crafts workshops for all. There will also be the chance to meet Santa, take a photo in the grand town hall and receive a present.

Tickets must be pre-booked and are now on sale. For tickets and more, please visit here.
