What you’ll get

Everything worth knowing, once a month

You get a free monthly guide plus a short mid-month update. The guide arrives in the last week of each month, ready for the month ahead. It covers Chester city centre and nearby areas such as Hoole, Upton and Boughton.

  • Top picks for the month, so you can see the best of it at a glance
  • What’s on, week by week: shows at Storyhouse, races at Chester Racecourse, events at the Cathedral and in the city centre, markets, parkrun and local sport
  • Free and low-cost ideas and family days out
  • Local news in brief: openings, council updates and things worth knowing
  • Community noticeboard: clubs, charities and appeals in and around Chester

In the middle of the month, a short “This fortnight” email covers the next two weeks, including any changes or cancellations.
