5 Things to do this Week - 2nd - 9th March

1. Gandey's K-Pop Dragon Circus, Warrington

Step into the spectacular world of Gandey’s K-Pop Dragon Circus this week (until the 15th March), and get ready for a dazzling fusion of East meets West, where magic, music, and myth unite beneath the big top. Leading the adventure is the charismatic Ringmaster Joel, joined by his mischievous clown companion, La Loka.

Their journey begins when they discover a baby dragon. Together, they embark on a heart-warming quest to reunite the young dragon with her majestic mother, guarded by the noble dragon riders. Along the way, audiences are treated to an extraordinary blend of global circus artistry. From heart-stopping motorbike riders defying gravity inside the iconic Globe of Death to the elegance of traditional Chinese performances, including the vibrant Lion Dance and the awe-inspiring art of big banner balancing — mixing East & West, old and new, a true united global collaboration.

3. Lots going on at Chester Cathedral

By day, Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon is spectacular. A six-metre replica of the lunar surface, suspended inside Chester Cathedral and illuminated with stunning NASA imagery, it stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in.

But come back at night, and it becomes something else entirely. This Thursday and Friday, Chester Cathedral opens its doors in the evenings. If you only do one thing this month, make it this.

As darkness falls and Dan Jones’ exclusive soundtrack drifts through the ancient space, the Moon comes alive overhead, vast, luminous, impossibly close. More immersive. More atmospheric. More unforgettable.

Then, on Saturday, party under the moon with the ultimate Family Silent Disco. Kid-friendly but grown-up fun too! Dance the night away with music, lights, and non-stop vibes, all before bedtime.

4. Macbeth at Storyhouse, Chester

Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy returns to the stage at Storyhouse this week, in a bold new production bringing the original text to life with power, pace and atmosphere.

This is the Macbeth you know and love: the witches, the prophecy, the blood-soaked ambition – all in a haunting, high-stakes world where fate and power collide. If you can't make it this week you have until 21st March to catch it.

Something wicked this way comes
