A chance to explore the Churchill Building and learn more about its history, architecture and links to the local community.

Come along and discover one of Chester’s most significant 1930s buildings. The former Western Command was an administrative centre built on the eve of the Second World War, and designed to defend the west of the British Isles.

This fascinating Neo-Georgian building clearly reflects the attitudes and concerns of it’s time, as well as incorporating architectural influences from Chester’s past.

Join us for an illustrated talk and tour that covers the building’s past and present.

Please note that there is an earlier tour of Western Command at 10.30am-11.30am.

Meeting Point: Churchill Building, Chester Business School, University of Chester, Queen's Park, Queen's Park Road, Chester, CH4 7AD.
