What to know
Carriage Shed lists the Chester Food & Craft Festival for Saturday 13 June in its semi-covered City Place event space. This is an easy drop-in market rather than a timed performance: go for food stalls, craft browsing and a low-commitment stop near the station side of town.
Carriage Shed also lists Food & Craft Festival dates on 11 July, 8 August and 12 September 2026.
Useful if you want something free and flexible. The source page confirms the date but gives limited trader detail, so check Carriage Shed socials if a specific stall matters.

Tickets

Timing
Sat 13 Jun, 11:00-17:00.
Getting there
Carriage Shed: Near the station. Use the venue page or map link for the exact entrance before travelling.
Children
Good for family plans, but check whether each child needs a ticket and whether the venue has rules on pushchairs or bags.
Venue
Carriage Shed
The Carriage Shed is the covered event space by Chester station, best thought of as an events and live music venue rather than a normal bar. It hosts ticketed parties, DJs, markets, food events, and seasonal gatherings, with the open-sided railway setting giving it a very different feel from the city-centre pubs. Useful when you want to know what is on near the station, especially for bigger daytime or evening events.
Before you go
Check the event listing before travelling or booking. Times, ticket status and entry rules can change faster than a static guide can.
