Did you know that Live History does events in Chester? On Monday 7th September (4pm-6pm), we will be gathering at the junction of Grosvenor Park Road and Union Street to undertake the Chester War Tour...for free! On Friday 6th November, we will be hosting Creepy Chester, an afternoon of dark, spooky local talks accompanied with historic snacks and beverages inside a sixteenth century townhouse (tickets can be purchased at Chester's Visitor information Centre). On Thursday 19th November, our annual Victorian flashmob will leave Chester High Cross on a leaflet run around 6pm before traditional carol singing ensues in anticipation of our Dickensian Grotto at the Grosvenor Museum on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th November - ideal for SEN children. So if you're thinking that there's nothing fun to do in Chester this autumn, think again. For more details, explore www.livehistory.co.uk to experience the past!
