THE New Chester Market is closed today (Tuesday, December 13).

In a short statement, the new Chester Market Twitter account tweeted "Important notice. Unfortunately, the market will be closed today due to technical reasons. We apologise for any inconvenience."

The market is normally open every Tuesday to Saturday until 10pm, and on Sundays until 9pm. It is closed each Monday.

It has seen more than 300,000 visitors in its first month, with the venue hitting capacity at weekends.

More traders are being lined up to complement the existing offerings, with Planet Anime opening their new Pokémon and comic collectables stall in the coming weeks.

Further produce traders are being sought to complement the butcher and fishmonger.
