Chester has more claims to fame than just being home to Hollyoaks – and some great surprises to boot.

Here’s a puzzler. Which city counts amongst its tourist attractions the most complete city walls of any British city, the most photographed clock in the world after Big Ben and the largest stone-built amphitheatre in the UK? The answer is Chester, the city known traditionally for its Roman heritage and, more laterally, as the setting for a Channel 4 youth soap. Throw in a reputation as style capital of the Northwest and you’ve got a great mix for a weekend away.

Stephen Wundke, restaurateur and Chairman of the Chester Food and Drink Festival: “Recent new and better-quality restaurant openings reflect a city on the move and trading up. Hence, our aim with the Food and Drink Festival each spring is to kick start a series of food and drink festivals across the region, promoting local produce, farmers markets and local food promotions.”
