A much-loved city centre market is due to return this weekend. The Cross Market in Chichester is set to take over North Street and East Street on Sunday, November 24, this time with a “festive twist”. An “exciting array” of local stalls from artisan creatives, designers and makers will take over the streets, as well as street food and drink vendors.
Christmas activities such as wreath making will also be available for children, as well as a festive stilt walker to provide entertainment. The event, which has been running since 2021 and has welcomed thousands of people to the city, will take place from 10am until 4pm.
