The event highlights the growing popularity in the UK for markets and demonstrates that local produce is still in high demand. Colchester’s Charter Market offers a fantastic range of vibrant stalls and is this town is a smart choice for homebuyers looking to move to a sought-after market town.
Colchester is also home to one of the South East’s rare livestock markets, selling a variety of animals to local business. This twice-weekly market has been in operation since 1900, and farmers from several neighbouring counties have relied on it for generations.
