As the nights grow darker and the air gets cooler, it's fair to say Christmas is on the way. Chester is the place to be this Christmas, with so many sparkly, seasonal events taking place in the city centre, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Chester Christmas Market will return to the city centre with over 70 chalets filled with gift ideas and delicious festive fare to enjoy, the annual parades will be filling the streets with festive cheer and Chester Cathedral opens its doors with a variety of christmassy events from carol concerts to their popular Christmas tree festival.
Families will get the chance to see Chester Zoo as they have never seen it before as the Lanterns return. Spot the animal lanterns, beautifully lantern-lit gardens and Santa and his sleigh leading the celebrations.
There will be plenty for families to do in the city in the run up to the big day, Santa will be at Storyhouse for magical story telling sessions and Chester Kidsmas festival is back with festive characters, FREE festive film screenings and more!
Enjoy late night shopping and marvel at the iconic tree, lit up for the festive season at Cheshire Oak Designer Outlet or visit Grosvenor Shopping Centre for the perfect gift with late night shopping every Thursday from 24th November to 22nd December.
