New Year, New Adventures

Chester & Cheshire is the perfect place to embrace the new, or revisit the things you love the most. Whether you're looking to ditch the tech and get out amongst nature, trying out a new diet, looking to reconnect with friends and family, or just looking for something to do, there's always something in Chester & Cheshire. 

A visit to the new First Light Pavilion at Jodrell Bank is a must, where you can explore the depths of space in an immersive planetarium experience, and enjoy views of the arboretum from the First Light cafe terrace. Also Jodrell Bank's unique carnival of music, science and cosmic culture, bluedot, returns in July with a fantastic lineup including Grace Jones, Roisin Murphy and Max Richter. Book in advance online, and visit again free of charge for the rest of the year!

A visit to Cheshire is never complete without a visit to our famous Chester Zoo! Experience the zoo like never before with unique opportunities to get closer to the incredible animals and plants and meet the experts. Feed the fruit bats, meet some of South and Central America's most spectacular species with the new Latin Experience, watch the lions in action, go on a tropical adventure for two and more!

Fancy a visit to the world's first Ice Cream Drive In? Well you're in the right place as it's right here in the Cheshire countryside! Next door to the award-winning Ice Cream Farm you can drive in, park up and chill out with a scoop of your favourite flavour of Cheshire Farm Ice Cream. Or if you're heading inside to The Ice Cream Farm itself you can pay a visit to the world's largest ice cream shop, which has more than 50 flavours to choose from! Plus there is a whole host of things to do with the family from water and sand play to mini-Land Rovers, crazy golf to soft play.

There's also a host of new offers to explore, so you can save while drinking, dining, staying, playing and relaxing in Chester & Cheshire.
