Autumn is one of our favourite times of the year:
the golden light and the turning of the leaves giving
way to the all-out fun of Halloween. To help you
make the most of the season, we’ve put together
a guide to the best Halloween entertainment
(page 8) and, for those hardy souls among you, a
rundown of the best pubs and places to combine
ghost hunting with eating and drinking (page 10).
There’s a new restaurant at The Hollies to enjoy
(page 32), food and drink news (page
14) and, while we know it’s only
September, we’ve got ahead of
the game with our guide to a
Cheshire Christmas, which
includes panto (of course),
markets and a rather
brilliant take on The Wizard
of Oz (page 24).
Finally, you may be
wondering about our cover
star: a certain Cillian Murphy,
the lead in the hit drama, Peaky
Blinders. Well, with rumours
that the Peaky cast and crew may
descend on Cheshire once again – to
film the final in the series – we’ve taken a look at
Cheshire on screen (page 6). Enjoy the country
homes, countryside and even whole country
villages that have become celluloid stars – or just
dig into our full listings of what’s on in Chester,
Cheshire and beyond (page15).
