Summer Pop Ups
This Summer, Chester's streets and stories come to life with a season of free heritage pop-ups for the whole family.
From crafts and storytelling to spycraft missions and surgery-themed experiences, there's something for every curious mind throughout the school holidays. Join a tour and explore the city with kids going free — and wherever possible, we've made sure everyone can take part.
Heritage Open Days returns 11–20 September,
and this year, it's all about Everyday History Heroes.
​
From the volunteers who keep our historic buildings alive to the hidden figures who shaped our streets, we're celebrating the people behind Cheshire's story — the ones you won't always find in
the textbooks.
Free events, tours, talks and hands-on experiences across the city and beyond.
