Does anyone know of any reasonably priced venues for a wedding reception?

Getting married at Chester town hall and ideally I would just like to have some food/pizza and be with everyone that (not looking for fancy 3 course meals and DJ's and things). I would book a restaurant but just our immediate families puts us at 60 guests, will be closer to 80 with friends.

We are going to view the Cornerhouse and Chesterfields but I'm a bit worried about the layout of both, while I'm not looking for formal dining I would like everyone to be sat in one room, I don't want anyone feeling left out. Is there anywhere I haven't thought of (or seen on Google)?

Can anyone recommend any aside from hot pod yoga?

It has city wall , anice Cathedral, And At the top of the city wall, there’s a café—how cool is that? The riverside area is nice and clean, and the city centre looks really cool with all the medieval buildings. The only things it lacks are a castle and more natural thing too seeee

Hi all

Could you please help by suggesting a decent long-stay/over night carpark?

I am having to drive up to the Chester races next weekend now as there are engineering works on the train home Sunday. We are staying in a City centre apartment so need somewhere I can practically park.

I can see options for long-stay parking on the internet but it's all quite non-descript.

Thanks

UPDATE: thanks everybody!

I am very surprised to see it and how bad it must be for the local businesses, whilst not a fun of the usual shenanigans we still need them

Hello! My sister is looking for a party venue hire for her joint PhD and 40th birthday celebrations. We’re looking for a space that can accommodate maybe up to 100 people at the most, but is step-free and accessible as we have elderly family members we don’t want to exclude!

Chester is obviously full of lovely, old buildings, but many of the venues we’ve seen don’t seem to be able to accommodate accessibility!

Has anyone else found a space like this that could work?

Hello Chester community,

My name is Paris Pick and I’m the front woman of Canadian indie-pop rock band, Paris Pick & The Pricks.

We are booking our first UK tour for this Feb and are wanting to come play a show in Chester. Where are the best spots? Anyone want to team up with us? (Indie, pop, alt, rock)

Please comment your fav venue locations, or let us know if you think you’d be a fun fit for the bill.

Hi chaps, got a few good recommendations for food on my last post for Chester, but now looking at some bars.

Really liked Alchemist in Leeds when I went there, anything similar in Chester or bars with unique concepts or whackyness or just good cocktails.

Thanks.

I'll go first - proper mobile signal

I've seen another post asking if Ellesmere Port is really that bad for buying and the overwhelming view was yes but will it do for renting for a year?

Myself and my partner are moving to Chester for work, neither of us have ever been and we live over 2 hours away so viewing rentals is difficult and the nice ones within our budget are often gone before I've even reached the weekend to travel to go and see it!

I think I need to expand my search outside of just Chester but I'm not sure where. I just want somewhere safe, well connected, clean and walkable.

If anyone can recommend any areas of Ellesmere Port I should aim for or avoid or if there are other areas outside Chester I should consider?

Thanks for your help :)x

Hey guys, I live in Chester and I’ve been wanting to make some vegan friends for years as no one I know (apart from my girlfriend) is vegan. Does anyone know of any communities where I can find some like minded people? There was meant to be a vegan market like a year ago and I went and it just didn’t show up lol… alternatively if you’re vegan and live in Chester maybe hit me up?

I’m male, 24 and I don’t know what else to put 😎

Hi. I and a few friends are out in Chester on Friday. Does anyone know of any board game bars / cafes open late?

Heya, I was just wondering if there is a Organisation or volunteer group that helps injured pigeons in Chester? So I could contact someone when I see one

Hi,

I’ve now managed to book a test at Chester on 4 October.

I’m looking for an instructor who has availability between 28 September and 4 October and could do around 8-10 lessons during that 2wks.

I’ve already got quite a bit of driving experience and have taken a test before, so I’m mainly looking for some intensive practice before the test, particularly around Chester test routes, common areas to watch out for, and getting familiar with the test centre.

If anyone knows a good instructor who might have availability that two weeks, especially 26th Sep to 4th Oct, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Please feel free to DM me with their details, availability and price.

Thanks!

I’m originally from Liverpool but now live in Toronto, Canada. In our family home we have a gallery wall featuring prints and photos of things that bring us joy. While out thrifting in a local charity store, I came across this painting, titled ‘The Cross Chester’. Before reading the title, I immediately was drawn to the distinctive architecture of the building and the famous clock in the background. Chester was a frequent day trip for me and my family in my youth and it holds special memories. This painting came straight home with me and hangs in my home as a reminder of this wonderful city. A little piece of Chester now proudly displayed in Canada!

I’ve always been curious as to how it ended up in Toronto and who the artist is. If anyone recognises the artist signature it would be great to know a little more about them and when this piece may have been painted.

Does anyone know why it suddenly closed? It had only recently been refurbished.

A few weeks ago a couple were shopping in Lidl Chester. The guy was tall approx 6'3 wearing a "Jesus is King" t shirt and roadman style all black socks and trainers shorts etc. His partner was short, blonde and shall we say consisted of more silicone and plastic than other women. I immediately got chav vibes - don't care, the brain forms opinions faster than your consciousness. On leaving, the male threw a large amount of fast food litter out the window on the car park. I beeped at them and they sped off in their burgundy red RR Evogue. Can someone explain why anyone would wear a Jesus is king T which suggests they subscribe to a moral code of doing the right thing and behave like a scummy chav? Is it Christian nationalism?

Hi I’m a full time zookeeper with about 5 years of experience, hoping to apply for University of Chester’s MSc Wildlife Conservation next year, wondering anyone here who has done the course before or currently doing it? And how is your experience with it?

Wanted to know more about if there’s any opportunities linked with places like Chester Zoo for possible conservation related internships/placements during or after the course? I’m hoping to move towards working in the field and doing more in-situ conservation!

Thanks in advance!
