Chichester Christmas Market
Christmas came alive in Chichester City Centre from 8th until 16th December 2018, East Street and North Street in Chichester City Centre was alive with an array of festive stands as the return of our Chichester Christmas Market was celebrated.
Visitors were able to choose from a mix of unique and quality gifts, crafts, and artwork. With speciality food and drink stands, offering delicious temptations to take home, as well as the chance to enjoy food-on-the-go, from festive caterers.
There was a varied, carefully handpicked selection of exhibitors offering high quality products. Among a host of superb gift ideas were handmade ceramics, original artwork, seasonal gifts, glassware, unique jewellery, giftware, traditional toys, artisan cheeses, homemade pickles and chutney, seasonal decorations and much more.
Chichester is a cathedral city and civil parish in West Sussex, England. It is the only city in West Sussex and its county town. It was a Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement and a major market town from those times through Norman and medieval times to the present day. It is the seat of the Church of England Diocese of Chichester, with a 12th-century cathedral.
Chichester Cross seen in the distance is an elaborate Perpendicular market cross in the centre of the city of Chichester standing at the intersection of the four principal streets. It is a Grade I listed building.
The Market Cross is constructed of Caen stone, one of the most favoured building materials of the age. The cross' form is octangular, having a strong abutment at each angle, surmounted with pinnacles.
Until the start of the nineteenth century the Cross was used as a market-place; but the increased population of the city requiring a more extensive area for that purpose, a large and convenient market-house was, about the year 1807, erected in the North-street; on the completion of which, it was proposed to take down this Cross, then considered as a nuisance. This was prevented from taking place when some of the members of the corporation purchased several houses on the north side of the Cross in order to widen that part of the street by their demolition.
