Halstead is set to become like Covent Garden on market days.
The new-look market, which will consist of at least 14 stalls, is launching on March 21 and will take place on the third Saturday of every month.
As part of the attraction, Halstead Town Team has announced they will be allowing buskers to perform on the same day.
Market Working Team member Wendy Pickess said: “It’s a really nice town where you can sit outside with a coffee.
“There won’t just be musicians, but jugglers, close up magicians and other street performers.
“In my mind, I imagine it being like Covent Garden, in London."
