Chester Christmas Market 2022 – Dates: From 18 November

Chester is a great destination for this winter if you’re interested in getting away from the big cities and big Christmas markets. The city is packed with Roman sights like the Roman Amphitheatre, City Walls, Corner Tower and the Roman Gardens. In the city centre is the Town Hall and this is the location of Chester Christmas Market.

Chester’s city centre is compact, walkable and surrounded by open green spaces. The Christmas market chalets are spread along Northgate Street, but the Christmas decorations continue throughout the city.

Hotels near Chester Christmas Market

Most visitors to Chester stay within the Roman City Walls, and I recommend this area for a short stay.

There isn’t a huge selection of hotels in this area, but if you want to be near the Christmas market, I suggest staying at The Coach House Inn.

From this small hotel, you step out directly at Christmas markets and many sights like Chester Cathedral, which is just opposite the hotel.
