THE TASTE CHESHIRE MARKET on Chester Town Hall Square on Sat 17 April is now (13/4) confirmed . The market starts at 10am and finishes around 4pm. My table should be in the usual spot at the base of the town hall steps (Princess St side). Mary will be selling on my behalf. Pay in cash or by cheque (no card payments, sorry.) There is a Barclays ATM opposite. I am not accepting orders for collection at the market.
PLEASE ORDER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COLLECT FROM MY HOME IN CH2 BETWEEN 1.30PM AND 3PM. If you haven’t been here before I’ll send directions when I confirm your order.
Free delivery can often be arranged in or close to Chester (volunteers will be much appreciated).
