Outside the Town Hall hearing stories of amazing Women associated with this wonderful building . Looking at the blue plaque dedicated to the first two women of Chester to hold the positions of Mayor of Chester and Sheriff of Chester

Hear about the female saint whose bones were contained within the shrine that was in the building . How has this saint from the seventh century contributed to the story of Chester . Hear about the history of Abbey Square and admire the Georgian terraces that have replaced the medieval monastic buildings - what is the connection with Jane Austen ?

If only the stones could speak to us ! Let me take you back through the centuries to hear about a remarkable woman who did not let her disability stop her from realising her life’s ambition to be a poet .

This street was the original Via or Porta Decumana so full of history and more stories of amazing Women of Chester

From an elevated point on Chester’s famous City walls we hear about Aethelflaed and how she established a burgh at Chester

Hear about female artists and fashion experts and their contributions to Chester whilst having a great view of Eastgate Street . This will be a great place to take photographs.
