r/Chester

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to get a few (for now, hopefully more later) T-shirts printed with my custom design, with about 2 weeks worth of time before they're needed.

I know there are all sorts of online companies that can do this, but I'd really like to go with someone nearby, either in or close to Chester. Both so I can support someone local and independent for its own sake, but so I can hopefully go down there to have a look at what they've made, and talk to the owner/staff in person.

If you know of businesses offering this, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Hello Chester, nice to meet ya!

I'll be arriving in your beautiful city tomorrow on a very last minute trip. Therefore, I need advice. Since I'm traveling with an elderly relative who doesn't speak any English at all, I'm trying to come up with activities that won't depend on me translating everything (😅)

So, is there any good second hand/charity shops in or around the city center, or any flea markets worth spending time in?

Additional question, what's the best way to move around? Public buses? Uber? Especially if we want to leave Chester for a day (I'm thinking Flint because of the castle ruins)

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to connect with some Chester locals or history buffs.

​My grandmother grew up in Chester and met my grandfather while he was stationed with the US Air Force nearby. They married in Chester, and she eventually moved to the States with him. I’ve always been incredibly proud of her British roots, and after visiting Chester in 2016, a piece of my heart definitely stayed there.

​She sadly passed away some years ago, and I only wish I would have inquired more about her personal experience of growing up and getting married there. I’m incredibly lucky to have a collection of photos and mementos she cherished from her life there.

​I would love to connect with anyone local who can share stories about Chester's culture, history, or even help me identify some of the locations in her old photos.

​Please drop a comment or send a DM if you'd like to chat. Cheers!

I haven't found anywhere to play MTG since moving back to Chester from Bristol 3 years ago that wasn't hosted/pay for entry by a card shop. I'm local to the area but I don't have a car so I can't travel very far, if anyone knows any groups at all or is willing to start a group specifically for mtg I'd love to hear it.

Not looking for tournaments or even competitive play, willing to teach people how to play if that's neccessary, just looking for a spot of fun with the crazy game that is magic and some people to socialise with while playing

It's been a while since I've used Chester train station from Hoole area - are you still able to cut through the old Lloyd's Bank land (from the one way railway bridge footpath) and come out by the City Place building and the Carriage Shed?

Hey everyone ☺️

Just wondering if anyone had any good ideas for running routes in/around Chester?

Currently training for the marathon and starting to get a little bored of the Countess Country Park 🫣

Generally prefer park/river/canal routes and I’m happy to travel slightly further afield (North Wales/Wirral) to change it up a bit too!

Thankssss

I got into uni of chester and cumbria. As N international student which is going to be a better option? Tution fee is slightly higher in Cumbria than chester but if anyone work across these places please let me know about the student placement and university. Itd be a great help. As a person residing outside the uk idk much about the cities even tho ive done ny research.

I’m a solo female hoping to visit for a weekend (Friday to Sunday) and just wondering what would be recommended to visit in the city? Will be staying at a premier inn on the edge so would be getting the bus in as I’ll be driving down from Newcastle and don’t fancy driving in city centres

Thanks so much

Hi, please does anyone have any recommendations for a cleaner who could work in Christleton, Chester for one morning or afternoon a week in a residential house?

What are some places you guys recommend visiting whilst in chester? I dont want to just hear about the average tourist attractions i want to know the best hidden gems!

Feel free to share your favourite spots and places to check out.

Please also add some food places not chain restaurants but restaurants/ dessert bars that are unique to Chester not the main restaurant that everyone dines at but also hidden gems that might be owned by locals or a family business

But also something affordable.

Leave your favourite restaurants and spots here!

Just wondering what's the best pub/bar in chester with a good selection of bourbons? I'm not looking for your average Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, more a place with higher tier bourbons. Thank you

It’s pretty hot. Could use somewhere nice and chill to hang out? Thanks :)

Just found someone's phone and managed to contact his ex-wife. She was really nice and pretty, even came to pick it up for him. I think she was like in her 30s. That's what she looked like, at least. Anyways im a 19 year old man. Would it be weird if I asked her out on a date?

Any one know what's going on there this morning, stopped for fuel at 7am, massive queues outside the shop with people on camping chairs. Doesn't open until 10am?

My partner recently bought some rollerskating and although I've lived here for many years I can't really think of any paths or parks in or around Chester with smooth paving suitable for it.

If anyone has ideas of where is decent for it I would be greatful

Thank you
