Heritage Chester is dedicated to promoting, preserving, and inspiring appreciation for Chester's unparalleled heritage. Our flagship initiative, Chester Heritage Festival, transforms the city for two weeks each year. https://www.heritagechester.co.uk/
Heritage isn't just confined to buildings and museums.
It's in the landscape, the wildflowers, the ancient pathways, and the stories of how people lived with and shaped the land around them.
Help us take heritage outdoors in 2026. Back us on @Spacehive 👉 www.spacehive.com/heritageches...
Chester's heritage isn't one single story. It's a rich tapestry of voices and perspectives that deserve to be celebrated.
Help us create programming where everyone can see themselves in Chester's story.

Three people, two men and one lady, standing on an area of grass in front of beds of golden-coloured daffodil flowers. There are some small shops in the background.
Yesterday, production began on a series of films highlighting the area's fascinating and diverse conservation areas. A big thank you to Alan of the #Weaverham Trust, Jacquie and Mike of the Weaverham History Society for showing us the daffodils in their beautiful village. #Cheshire #ConservationArea

More on the promontory fort at Helsby, #Cheshire - as mapped by the OS at the turn of the C19-20, and on a recent satellite view. The massive sandstone ridge is obvious even from above, & the earthworks visible to varying degrees, depending on land-use. #HillfortsWednesday

Music brings people together across generations.🎶
Matt Baker, composer and musical director, knows this - and it's why community singing is vital to our events. When voices join together, something magical happens.

Those sound like great ideas, and yes, we're currently into the process of accepting, evaluating and programming new events. I'll ask someone in the admin team to get in touch with an event form. Thank you!
Heritage events don't just celebrate Chester — they drive it. 🎨
Visitors are already coming from across the region for what we create here, and there's appetite for more. More visitors = more support for local businesses and our economy.
