We hope to see the far corner of the park, and beyond, transformered into a mosaic of different wetland habitats. 🦆 More wildlife 🌱 Cleaner stream water 💧 Better water management 😃 Even more places to enjoy at our park! @shitchester.bsky.social @wearechester.bsky.social @chesterzoosci.bsky.social

It felt a bit like summer in Chester today 🌞 Great to see so many enjoying being by the river or sitting outside
Many people can be seen along the Groves by the River Dee in Chester. Some pleasure boats are on the water and a seagull is flying above the water.

We do have some quirky and eye-catching parades here in Chester. Winter Watch is one of them, and it was brilliant to catch this, combined with the Saturnalia celebration, on Thursday evening ✨ 🎄 💀
A giant lit bauble is on Exchange Square outside Chester Market. Two people walk past wearing coats. A sign for the Picturehouse cinema can be seen in the background. A giant skeleton puppet wearing a black top hat is parading along Northgate Street. A man wearing skeleton face make up and a skeleton themed black and white outfit is moving the puppet to interact with the crowds. The cathedral can be seen in the background, along with fair lights on trees.A devil-type character with two large horns on his head and a red white and gold outfit is parading along Northgate Street. He has what looks like blood stains on the white edging of his robe. Crowds can be seen around him.A giant crow puppet is carried along Northgate. Crowds of people are watching.

Great to see Chester so busy and so festive today ⛄️🎄❄️
A number of people are queuing to take selfies or photos inside the golden giant bauble that is lit up outside Chester Market. People are walking along Northgate Street with Christmas market stalls either side and a Christmas tree and fairy lights on the right hand side near to the town hall.

Okay, let’s get the awkward first post out of the way 😉 We’re chuffed to be here. By way of a little introduction, we’re an online magazine which champions theatre shows, concerts and musical happenings in + around the city of Chester. We also enjoy dipping into foodie/lifestyle stuff ✨
A man takes a photo of the Eastgate Clock from the City Walls in Chester. A number of other people are beneath the clock on the walls, looking down over Eastgate.
