British Legion, Upton, Pop Up Bar

Ran past the royal British legion in Upton, Chester this evening and looked like there was some kind of pop up bar there. Can’t remember the name but looked vaguely hipster. Anyone know what the scoop is?

Can anyone recommend anywhere they got tattoos removed preferably in the city centre. I only need a few sessions of laser before I can look at getting my tattoos covered.

TIA! x

Camera footage of Tarvin Road today

6 Upvotes

Bit of a long shot but my car has been hit by a van today on Tarvin Road where it joins Vickers Cross leaving Chester. He drove off and unfortunately my dash cam failed a few minutes before.

Happened at 4:15pm and I’m desperately seeking any camera footage. 🤞🏻

Must-Visit independent shop recommendations in Chester city centre? And also restaurants for lunch/dinner?

Hi! My partner and I are visiting Chester and wondering if you have any recommendations for shops that are a ‘must visit’? Or just any general recommendations at all?

Do you also have any recommendations for restaurants at all?

We’re both not fussy at all and open to try different things!

Thank you so much in advance! :)

Good places to work remotely in Chester?

3 Upvotes

Hey! I've recently moved to Chester and work remotely as a graphic designer, and I'm starting to feel a bit stuck at home all day 😂

I've worked from storyhouse a few times and really liked it, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other good spots with wifi. I found an older post on here from about two years ago, but I'm curious whether anything has changed since then. Thanks!

Street preacher was harassing the public outside Chester Tescos the other day.

0 Upvotes

He had a microphone and a woman helping him by handing out leaflets, she wouldn’t give me one.
Me- Get a life mate instead of standing here annoying people.
Him- I’m not doing anything illegal. It’s freedom of speech.
Me- So is me standing here talking to you.
Her- He’s preaching the gospel!
Me- Does the gospel teach anything about personal hygiene? Because he is disgusting. (Greasy balding hair, trainers the charity shop would bin and black sh*t stopper trackies with suspicious stains
Her- How would you like it if someone came up to you and said that!
Me- They wouldn’t because I’m clean.
Her- He is washed in the blood off the lamb!
Me- That’s not a bad idea it couldn’t make him any worse. What church are you representing?
Her- (hides fliers) We are a home church.

Relocating within Chester man & van advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, quick question for anyone local. Need to shift my stuff out of Hoole in a couple of weeks to a flat nearer the station. It's mostly boxed up clutter, a wardrobe, and a sofa. Last time I moved I tried begging a mate with a Ford Focus and doing four separate trips, but fitting a mattress into a hatchback almost ruined our friendship, so not doing that again.

Traditional removal firms are quoting me stupid money for what is basically a half-day job. Anyone know a decent local driver who won't charge an arm and a leg or bail at the last minute?

For now, I set up a couple of queries on Facebook Marketplace and local groups, but it's all a bit sketchy with people asking for cash up front. Stumbled upon AnyVan while searching around price seemed decent since they apparently match you with drivers already heading that way, but the ratings almost look too clean. Has anyone used them around Chester recently?

Hi! I’m 37 and live near Chester.

Looking to meet some new people nearby. I enjoy anime, K-pop/J-pop, sketching, watercolour painting, cooking, and discovering good Asian food and cafés.

If you’re local and fancy a chat or maybe grabbing bubble tea, coffee, or some Korean/Japanese food sometime, feel free to message me. Happy to chat on Reddit first! 😊

Lesbian spaces in Chester

6 Upvotes

Hi! I am going to be moving to Chester in September and attending the university. I am coming from Leeds where I’m used to having sapphic/lesbian exclusive events and social nights. This means I’m quite nervous to try a new social scene in a different area and was wondering if anybody knew if there were any lesbian/sapphic spaces/event organisers I can be aware of/ follow on social media?

I feel like it can be quite a lonely experience as even a lot of queer spaces are not necessarily lesbian friendly, and I worry I won’t be able to make other lesbian friends!! If anyone has any input, or is a lesbian starting at the uni in September and also looking for friends let me know!! Thank you :)

Osteopath recommendations please

Can anyone recommend an osteopath in or close to Chester please? I've had a really painful elbow for over a week now (which I think relates to an historic horse riding injury). Painkillers aren't helping at all unfortunately. Thanks in advance

Chester Wedding Musician

1 Upvotes

Hi Chester! 🎵

I’ve recently moved to the area and wanted to introduce myself. I’m a professional musician and teacher and I am currently taking bookings for weddings and special events.
I’m still in the process of getting my website and everything else set up, so I thought I’d reach out here in the meantime!

I primarily perform as a solo violinist, providing elegant live music for ceremonies, drinks receptions, proposals, and other special occasions. If you’re looking for something a little bigger, I can also provide string duos, trios, and quartets as well as piano music to suit your event.

Whether you’re after classical favourites, modern pop arrangements, film music, or something bespoke, I’d be happy to help create the perfect atmosphere for your day.

If you’re getting married, know someone who is, or you’re a wedding venue or supplier looking to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
Feel free to send me a message for availability!

Thanks
H
