Further ahead.
The future list, trimmed to things worth clocking before the good seats or decent plans vanish.
-
Pink Floyd by Candlelight
A single-night Cathedral concert with a strong hook and a setting that does some of the work.
-
Roman Day
A very Chester event at the racecourse, with family appeal and a clear date.
-
The Rocky Horror Show
A major Storyhouse theatre run and worth flagging before people are left with awkward seats.
-
Peter Pan
A useful summer-holiday family pick in Grosvenor Park, rather than another generic school-holiday filler.
- Quiz / heritage / community
The Great Big Chester Quiz - hosted by Sh*t Chester
A genuinely local, funny-sounding Chester event with a heritage angle, central venue and low ticket price.
-
Chester Heritage Festival
The best broad Chester fit: local history, multiple dates and enough variety to build a proper guide around.
More events further ahead (15)
Useful fallbacks.

-
Rainy-day guide
Indoor saves and covered routes when the event plan needs a backup.
-
Chester with Kids
Family-friendly food, attractions and fallbacks when the calendar is awkward.
-
Things To Do
Attractions, activities and plans that are not dependent on a listing behaving itself.
-
Pubs & Bars
Useful when the event is really a reason to decide where the night ends.
