What Makes @ShitChester Tick? residents’ conference tomorrow 14th October. Some tickets still available.

Sometimes you just click the shutter on your phone and get lucky. @ShitChester at its most atmospheric.
Normally I don’t approach Picturehouse head-on so seeing it like this the other night was stunning. Aren’t we lucky to have such a magnificent new cinema in the heart of @ShitChester?
The explosive and perfectly fabulous Courettes at St. Mary’s last night, after Teenage Fanclub at the Live Rooms on Sunday. Chester’s live music scene is superb.
Poirot, Velma and Vera(!) in search of Sherlock Holmes in Grosvenor Park. More wonderful @StoryhouseLive theatre in @ShitChester. Hilarious.
Reflections on personal development, the meaning of home and growing up in Chorley from University of Chester Business School’s Summer Ainscough as part of the city’s Festival of Ideas in Chester Town Hall today.
46 years since Are Friends Electric! I was never a Gary Numan fan but he nailed it at Glastonbury today.
Chester folks who enjoy funny/ sad accessible poetry delivered with sardonic Lancashire cool, don’t miss this free event on Saturday. Given that it’s Oliver and On The Walls books expect a little carefully chosen music too.

This is a fantastic article. I think the “Notswolds” moniker might catch on!
“Why Cheshire’s ‘Notswolds’ are a match for the real deal” - a great piece in @thetimes 👍🏼

License application for ground floor of The Steam Mill, most recently the much lamented Artichoke. Doubtless they saw Cheshire Day in @ShitChester on the TV and thought they should move fast!
Great to see the Cheshire Day feature hit the tv news. Fantastic publicity for Chester and especially for New Chester Market and its superb businesses. What a place this @ShitChester is!

30 Mar: #CheshireDay marks reissue of the Magna Carter of Chester in 1300 by Edward I. Cheshire was a County Palatine, a separate feudal domain to England, our own Parliament until 1542 when Henry VIII removed our special status. Current county boundaries from 1974. @ShitChester

Happy #CheshireDay, marking the day the county was given its Charter of Liberties in 1300 by King Edward I.
Great fun being interviewed by Granada News on behalf of @MktgCheshire to celebrate Cheshire Day, 30th March. Should air on Granada Reports tomorrow. @ShitChester
Well said Cristian.
Businesses in Cheshire are calling on the Chancellor to give them more support to boost the visitor economy @MktgCheshire @LBC @LBCNews #SpringStatement
I thoroughly recommend this BBC Sounds documentary made by my Chester pub mate @christiandunn. It is ostensibly about soil but is as much about life in wartime in rural Ukraine. Surprisingly uplifting though.
