Providence Gin is in, of course, God s Providence House, Watergate St. Such a lovely, welcoming bar - and if the conversation flags, you can always guess how many types of gin it stocks. My guess was wrong…

Our Viking Shield Maiden makes her debut on Saturday 20th July 2024 departing from outside the Town Hall at 11am and 3.30pm.

Over 1000 years ago, Invaders from across the North Sea swept across much of Britain and seized and stole whatever they could find – and rose to become rulers over England.

Now we go back in time to the Viking occupation of Chester and reveal the lasting impact they made on the city and beyond.

Find out about their unique culture including tales of flying cats, ‘zombies’, ‘wolf warriors’ and the naughty god Loki!

It’s an unforgettable and unmissable adventure for everyone to enjoy.

Participants will also receive a replica Viking coin as a souvenir of their tour.

Private group tours available at any time.

Tickets are bookable online at www.vikingchester.com or at Chester Visitor Information Centre Tel: 01244 405340 or pay the Viking in cash on the day.

So take a walk on the wilder side and discover the Age of the Vikings in Chester!

So easy to get lost down Duke s Drive if you stray off the main paths . And so lovely and interesting when you do!

A Trio of Summer Workshops • 23 Beak Street⁠

In the cocooning back room of our store at 23 Beak Street, we invite our ledger members to immerse themselves in one of our creative workshops. ⁠

We have several exciting workshops planned throughout the summer, beginning with a Tuscan floral arrangement this Sunday, guided by Emma Thistlethwaite (). ⁠

Ffern Artist Katy Papineau () is returning to Beak Street to run a short series of still life drawing workshops - the first one focused on expressive mark-making, and the second centred on creating a vibrant colour palette. ⁠

Workshops can be booked here: ffern.co/workshops⁠

More workshops to be announced soon - watch your emails!⁠

Thanks Darlah Thomas, Lache and Westminster Park Local History Group, for the article on Chester’s 18th century clock-making area in Gloverstone Court. The area has gone but the name lives on, off Castle St, tho certainly a lot quieter now!
