Cheshire Events and Festivals

Where the flowers bloom & the foodies flock. Where the dogs go wild & the vintage cars are admired. Chester & Cheshire, with the cinema under the stars & the theatre in the park, boast a vivid year-round calendar with exceptional events for all!

For the lovers of flora, blossom at Tatton Park with the iconic RHS Flower Show and admire the world-class botanical displays. Whilst on-site, be sure to run to the venue’s magnificent neo-classical mansion, acres-upon-acres of cultivated parkland, and take root at the Stables Restaurant with a delicious bite to eat.

Not abloom with the idea of a flower show? DevaFest is a three-day-long multi-themed celebration perfect for families, featuring live music and performances, local food, free fairground rides and SO MUCH MORE!

Lose yourself in the past world of Shakespeare with a spectacular comedy, tragedy, or history performance at the iconic Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre, courtesy of Chester’s purpose-built arts and cultural venue, Storyhouse. Alternatively, snuggle up with a fluffy blanket, great company, and a feel-good film at Moonlight Flicks, either in the crisp outside air, or in the familiar comfort of your own vehicle!

And of course, the fun does not stop at our human guests! Being a weekend jam-packed with adventurous have-a-go activities, unique products for, and inspired by, canines, and memorable arena displays, DogFest provides unparalleled fun for both you and your four-legged, waggy-tailed friends.

Whatever your interests, Chester & Cheshire has the ideal events for you, your friends and family – so which are you going to book first?!
