The city's parks and outdoor spaces host brilliant family days throughout the warmer months — fairs, fetes, circus performances, wildlife days and picnic events make summer in Chester a genuinely special time for families. Indoor events keep the programme going through autumn and winter with craft workshops, pantomimes, and immersive festive experiences.
When planning a family day out in Chester: check age recommendations and whether buggies/prams are admitted, book early for popular holiday workshops as spaces are limited, and look out for free family events at Chester's major museums and galleries, which often run excellent activities on weekends and during school holidays.
