Chester Festival of Romance 2005

Romance is in the Air

The Festival of Romance celebrates all that’s great about love with a host of events that will make Chester the most romantic city in Britain for the second year running. The 10-day festival, which includes St Valentine’s Day, will unlock the romance in us all.

Highlights of over 200 events planned include the glamorous “Love Chester’ launch event, cinema nights, canal and river cruises, the “Strictly Casanova’ evening and the Roman-tic Walk round the City Walls in aid of the British Heart Foundation. There will also be speed dating, Romance Tours, supermarket singles nights, The Shell Valentine Card Exhibition, competitions for the whole family and the opportunity to renew wedding vows at a very special blessing in Chester Cathedral. These special events, and much more, are coupled with Festival hotel, restaurant and venue packages throughout the City.

There are also the City’s year round attractions to consider; its shopping, the world famous Rows, romantic walks across the city, round the Walls and by the river, its historic visitor attractions and museums, vibrant nightlife, pubs and restaurants and its beautiful surrounding countryside.

These give you even more reasons to visit and enjoy Chester. We are sure you will fall more deeply in love with the city and its people!

The Festival is being organised on behalf of Chester City Council with support from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and the Cheshire & Warrington Tourism Board.
