New street market coming to city centre

A new street market is coming to Chichester on Sunday, November 7, from 10am to 3pm.

Visitors can expect to find a variety of different stalls, street food, and children’s entertainment at The Cross Market & More in North Street and East Street.

Traders will be selling a range of products including crafts and gifts, food produce, beauty, homeware and more.

Chichester District Council has teamed up with Chichester and Brinsbury Colleges to offer students an opportunity to showcase and sell their products at the market.

Max Carter, a carpentry apprentice at Chichester College, said: “It means a great deal to have this opportunity and take part in the ‘Traders of Tomorrow’ event.

Our products are hand made by students, and made by new students who are learning as they go.

“We’re ensuring these unfinished products, which would normally be thrown away, are going to be finished and sold. This is great because it reduces waste materials.”

Alan Sutton, cabinet member for events, says: “You won’t want to miss The Cross Market & More. This new market will showcase the best products from local designers and producers including textiles, jewellery, homemade food, prints and other arts and crafts.

“There will be plenty of entertainment for children including a carousel and bubble display.

“We are also really pleased to be supporting young entrepreneurs. We’re keen to encourage our students and give them a platform for their creativity.

“We hope they will benefit from the opportunity to showcase and sell original products and designs and that it inspires them to become the ‘traders of tomorrow.”
