Around the Newgate - Chester Sunday netwalk

This relaxed Sunday stroll will explore the area around Chester's Newgate and along historic Pepper Street. Your professional local guide, Katie, will share some stories along the route but you'll also have plenty of chance to chat with fellow walkers.

Many of the buildings here, and indeed the gate itself, date from the 20th century and are part of considerable redevelopment of the city over this period. But dig a little deeper and Chester's history as far back as the Romans can be found here. There's a Tudor love story to be discovered and a link to an iconic WWII aircraft.

I run regular walks in Chester and North Wales throughout the year. Please follow me for details of these and other upcoming events.

Who are these netwalks for?

Literally everyone and anyone! Some of the best connections can be made whilst just walking and chatting. As well as an opportunity to get out and about in the fresh air, it is a great way to meet some like-minded people and share some interesting conversations along the way. Perfect for anyone who loves all things Chester related - local and visitor alike. Please come along and join us for an informal Sunday stroll!

Where’s it happening?

Please meet outside the main entrance of the Storyhouse on Hunter Street, CH1 2AR for a prompt start at 14.15 pm.

The walk will last approximately 75 minutes and will end back at the Storyhouse.

I'll be at the meeting point from 2 pm so please come along and introduce yourself.

The practical stuff:

The walk will go ahead whatever the weather so please dress appropriately.

Chester is a historic city and the route will cover uneven surfaces and include steps so please wear suitable footwear. If you have any mobility issues or other accessibility concerns, please contact the organiser before booking to ensure the route can be adjusted accordingly.

The event does not include refreshments, but there are many options for eat-in or take-away food and drink in the local area, either before or after the walk, including at the Storyhouse itself.

If the event has to be cancelled at short notice for any reason, the organisers will make every effort to contact you using details provided at the time of booking.
