Introducing – The Taste Cheshire Virtual Christmas Market #News

At Taste Cheshire, Markets are something of a speciality.

But with lockdown 2.0 now in full swing, things have to be a little different…

Whilst we hate to start off on a sour note we have taken the difficult decision to cancel both the Taste Cheshire market in the Cathedral and the Markets in Chester Town Hall square this weekend.

This decision has not been taken lightly. We have consulted with the local council and our traders and we ultimately decided this was best for public safety.

We are planning some exciting options for you to still support local producers this Christmas within government guidelines, and hope to source new dates in December. So stick with us, please, Christmas isn’t cancelled.

… And just like that we are happy to announce the launch of The Taste Cheshire Virtual Christmas Market.

Through a private group available through Facebook, you can visit stalls at our virtual ‘market’ and this is a place to pick up some of your favourite treats from our fabulous independent local producers, right from the comfort of your own home.

We have brought together a brilliant selection of independent local businesses from across Cheshire, not just amazing foodie delights but also fabulous gift offerings. All our traders are local and independent, so by shopping here, you know you are supporting local businesses and making someone do a happy dance this Christmas. This group is growing, and we encourage you to come along for the ride.

Online markets like these have been popular up and down the country, and we think it’s a great and simple way to support local business and get your Christmas shopping done during the pandemic.

So please, request to join the group as a customer right away and get shopping!

Each business receives a stall number and name plus an album to add a collection of images which represent their Christmas and product offering. Businesses are able to post on the group once a day promoting themselves so you can see any special offers or unique products highlighted daily. You can comment on these posts if you have questions about the products and message them to order!

We want to grow this group far and wide, so we do ask all members to invite as many of their friends as possible, creating a wonderful marketplace for all these fabulous products.
