Market returns to city centre following winter break
Canterbury City Market returns to St George’s Street today (9 April) after taking a short break over the winter months to allow for the city’s Christmas market.
The historic 700-year-old market will begin trading again every Wednesday between 9am and 5pm up until late autumn.
Shoppers will be able to get their hands on a range of excellent local products including bread, pastries, homewares and collectibles as well as jewellery, vinyl records and clothing.
The market made its official comeback in July last year after 18 months away and has established itself as a brilliant addition to Canterbury’s vibrant market offering.
Director of Place, Bill Hicks, said: “I’m so pleased to see the market returning after a short break over the festive period and can’t wait to sample some goods from the latest line-up of street traders bringing their fantastic products to the stalls.
“What better way to enjoy the warmer weather than by shopping from some of Kent’s best makers and traders at a sunny open-air market!”
The 11 traders lined up for this week are:
- Valentin’s Artisan Bakery
- Viking records, offering new and second-hand vinyl records
- A Little Bit of Pixie Dust, offering nostalgic Disney goods
- Si The Poke Guy, offering collectible Pokémon cards
