A new market for the Port

The £8m refurbishment of Ellesmere Port Market by Cheshire West and Chester Council includes a new building façade, photovoltaic solar panels, new toilets, refurbished stalls, seating, improved layout and public Wi-Fi. In addition to the flexible event space at the Flea market, there is a new al fresco area and landscaping, along with cycle parking and seating. However, due to the extreme dry weather the plants and trees in the public realm space in front of the market will be planted later in the autumn.

The Ellesmere Port Town Centre Regeneration Project is funded by the Government’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
