Market & Food Events

Christchurch has a thriving community with an eventful calendar that both serves its residents and attracts many visitors.

The weekly market takes place every Monday on the Highstreet and Saxon Square which is closed to traffic. Many of the businesses are open on the Highstreet to accommodate shoppers and the market itself sells all sorts of items varying from artisan foods, fresh fruit and veg to household products, jewellery, clothes and more.

Christchurch’s eventful calendar has many festivals throughout the year. The Christchurch Food Festival is one of the busiest weekends of the year and every May bank holiday the Highstreet and Quay are transformed into foodie heaven. At this hugely popular event you can expect to see people out and about throughout the quay and town all weekend dipping in and out of tents and market stalls trying delicacies from independent sellers and local businesses who set up with specialist menus for the event.
