Town Criers from Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Channel Islands and the USA, to name just a few, turned up at the Northgate shopping centre  to chat to members of the public and give onlookers a taste of their skills.

“The city will echo  to the sounds of proclamations when some of the world’s finest Criers from ten nations get into their stride,” said David Mitchell, Chester’s own Town Crier, and organiser of the tournament.. “Their visit to the Forum was a real hit for fans and onlookers.

“Chester has hosted this event on three previous occasions, in 2001, 2004 and 2010, so we expected a significant number of fans to attend and show their support, and they did.”

The Forum’s Centre Manager, Mr Lawrence Allen said: “We know how popular this event is with our shoppers and members of the public, so we were more than happy to part- sponsor it. We are obviously delighted that onlookers, including many of our customers, were able to meet and greet the Criers and see them in action when they visited the Forum .
