Looking Around
The Chester Heritage Festival 2024 takes place around the city from 21st to 30th June. With plenty of events it should make a very interesting trip. In addition, events are held during the year. One of those events is held every Saturday during the summer (and Wednesday’s during school holidays) and gives children the opportunity to learn to be a Roman Soldier.
Precautions

To find your IMEI number, use the keypad on your mobile phone and type in the following five symbols: *#06#
