By Butlers in the Buff · From £35pp · We come to you
Chester is one of England's most beautifully preserved historic cities and a brilliant, underrated choice for a hen party weekend. The iconic two-tier Rows shopping galleries, Roman walls and the stunning Eastgate Clock give it a character that's entirely its own. Our mixologists cover Chester and the wider Cheshire area for private cocktail masterclasses delivered directly to your accommodation.
Chester's Roman heritage is extraordinary, the city was founded as Deva Victrix by the Roman army in 79 AD and the 2-mile circuit of Roman walls is the most complete in England. The medieval Rows, two-level galleried shopping streets unique in the world, are Chester's most distinctive feature. The River Dee curves around the south of the city, with beautiful riverside walks, rowing boats for hire and the lovely Grosvenor Park. Chester's independent restaurant and bar scene has flourished in recent years, particularly around Northgate Street and Watergate Street.
