Smile and say Cheese! for Cheshire Day

Celebrate all things Cheshire in March.

Cheshire Day is an annual celebration held on March 30th to honour the rich history, culture, and contributions of our great county. The date commemorates the charter of liberties granted to Cheshire by King Edward I in 1300, which functioned similarly to a local Magna Carta.

We're a county with a lot to show; our culinary scene is one built on stories over centuries. We have the nations first named cheese, farm to fork food and forest foraged gins, not forgetting a mythical cat and an infamous tea party.

Cheshire Day serves as an opportunity for both locals and visitors to appreciate and celebrate the county's contributions to history, industry, and culture.

So celebrate with us between 23rd and 30th March 2026
