@ShitChester @StoryhouseLive Saturday Night Fever meets Quentin Tarantino meets This City Is Ours. Or was that just my take on it?

Well done to the Macbeth cast and crew @StoryhouseLive

@blacon_blue @ShitChester I am fairly sure St Olave’s is owned by CW&C not the Church of England. Great point though!

@ShitChester Just hope this spurs the Anglican church onto spending some money to repair St Olaves and put it back into community use. Maybe some of the community commitment the developers of Fords could be used?

Happy Christmas!

What Makes @ShitChester Tick? residents’ conference tomorrow 14th October. Some tickets still available. crag.uk/conference/

Re-branding for Halloween in @ShitChester ?

Sometimes you just click the shutter on your phone and get lucky. @ShitChester at its most atmospheric.

@ElvisCostello @AmerSongwriter No disagreement with any of these great performances (particularly pleased to see the less well known Roger McGuinn track) but a more adventurous selection might have included something from My Darling Clementine’s album with Steve Naive.

@AmandaYeardsley @ShitChester Part of the reason for my post. Let’s share the word about how great it is!

@ColinNeilPotts @ShitChester It is lovely, but it’s been almost empty every time I’ve been there. Which is great when you’re watching the movie, but not great for business longevity.

Normally I don’t approach Picturehouse head-on so seeing it like this the other night was stunning. Aren’t we lucky to have such a magnificent new cinema in the heart of @ShitChester?

@simonjveardley @chesterzoo Dead right. It is spectacular and superb quality but not easy to photograph - you have done a great job here.

Huge congratulations @chesterzoo on the official launch of ‘The Reserve.’ Top quality finish to a top quality place. I hope it is a huge success!

@chesterbells1 @ShitChester @prykey86 Interesting. Why?

@ColinNeilPotts @ShitChester @prykey86 A lot of people I speak to are glad it’s gone, tbh

@ShitChester grosvenor park wheel being taken down today after saying it was there until November 🤔

The explosive and perfectly fabulous Courettes at St. Mary’s last night, after Teenage Fanclub at the Live Rooms on Sunday. Chester’s live music scene is superb.

Poirot, Velma and Vera(!) in search of Sherlock Holmes in Grosvenor Park. More wonderful @StoryhouseLive theatre in @ShitChester. Hilarious.

Another new national retailer coming to ⁦@ShitChester⁩.

@ShitChester Just my guess but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if is end of lease and that they re-appear as part of H Beauty.

Last day of trading at L'Occitane

@ShitChester Agree with many of Adam’s thoughts but the retrospective love for “free after three” wasn’t as evident at the time when traders complained that customers were discouraged from coming in to town before three! I favour a car park discount for residents at all times.

Going to be starting this off as a series of blogs. If you'd like to contribute with a detailed response get in touch 👍

Reflections on personal development, the meaning of home and growing up in Chorley from University of Chester Business School’s Summer Ainscough as part of the city’s Festival of Ideas in Chester Town Hall today.

46 years since Are Friends Electric! I was never a Gary Numan fan but he nailed it at Glastonbury today.

@MktgCheshire @chesterzoo @VisitCheshire Exciting. Very impressive to see such an imaginative marketing partnership!

@SamanthaDixonMP @ShitChester A great piece. I was thinking earlier this evening about a city promotion based on Chester characters - Billy would certainly be one of them! I remember Claire Gobin too; we have had (and have) a few memorable violinist buskers.

An excellent write up by @ShitChester on a vibrant and iconic Chester resident. Billy is a cornerstone of our city’s community, with such a wonderful perspective of life in Chester. Well worth a read 👇thechesterblog.com/2025/06/03/41-…
