Trying to entertain yourself on a budget isn’t tough in Chester. Students running short on funds will find the city offers many special offers and affordable events, however, it’s also full of fun distractions that are completely free.
Appreciate Grosvenor Park
A public greenspace in the centre of town, Grosvenor Park is just 10 minutes on foot from University of Chester campuses. Ideal for a peaceful stroll between lectures, the park is also a perfect place for a run with friends to build your fitness. Free events often occur in the park throughout the year, from impromptu theatre productions to live music performances.
Tour the city walls
While you can pay for a guided tour of Chester’s Roman walls, you can also circumnavigate them yourself. Views from the walls let you take in the city with a fresh perspective and take in medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture too. If you’re looking for historic ambience, you’re likely to glimpse guides dressed accurately as elite Roman legionaries leading tours atop the walls.
Window shop the Chester Rows
The black and white Rows in Chester are an eye-catching sight in the city centre. With dozens of boutique shops, bistros and tea shops on their two-tier structure, they make an ideal place to while away the hours with a lively atmosphere. From the second level, you can watch the hubbub of central Chester go by or capture images for Instagram.
