Chester Zoo has announced details of a free family festival, set to return in September.

A new special exhibition ‘Remembering Bosnia, 30 years on’ has been launched at Cheshire Military Museum in Chester. It looks back at the 1st Battalion the Cheshire Regiment’s deployment to Bosnia as part of a UN force in 1992 -93. The Cheshire’s were the first British Battalion to deploy armoured vehicles in the region, experiencing the horrors of a civil war, helping the civilian population and protecting convoys of essential life-saving supplies.

Walkers around Chester City Walls will be able to venture into King Charles' Tower, a rare opportunity, during the weekends 9th and 10th, 16th and 17th September, between 10.30am and 4pm. This is the first year King Charles' Tower has opened under a Royal King of the same name and all Royal visitors are very welcome!

Following a successful 2022 Nantwich Food Festival, the Festival organisers have excelled themselves. The organisers thank Nantwich Town Council and Cheshire East Council for their ongoing support that has been crucial to the Festival’s continued success. These thanks are extended to all the local sponsors, without whom, the Festival would not take place.

The stunning 6,000-acre estate, in Tattenhall near Chester and Wrexham, will host AXFest over three days from September 15.

With the Great British weather in full swing and a very wet summer holidays ahead, Author and Creator of the BeWILDerwood books and award-winning play parks, Tom Blofeld, expresses his concerns on what impact this could have on young children and why playing in the great outdoors should always be encouraged.

Brace yourselves for a frightfully fun Halloween experience as Chester BID, in collaboration with the creative minds behind the highly acclaimed ‘Santa's Enchanted Grotto, Chester’, presents an all-new spine-chilling extravaganza – ‘Chester's Haunted Hotel – The Dee’.

Nantwich Food Festival has gone the extra mile with the new and exciting plan to involve locals and visitors with almost 200 places for the Festival Cookalong.

Warrington’s ‘mini David Attenborough’ Aneeshwar Kunchala is to display new artwork in his hometown as part of a new exhibition with an environmental message.

Is it jam or cream first? 

A question worth pondering over whilst enjoying the idyllic setting of the Gardener’s Cottage Tea Room which sees its eagerly anticipated re-opening on 21st July. This is the perfect place to enjoy the quintessentially English tradition of Afternoon Tea.
