TAKE A BREAK<br />
Grab some lunch at one of <strong>Chester</strong>’s great coffee shops <strong>and</strong><br />
browse the independent boutiques around Rufus Court <strong>and</strong><br />
Watergate Street. Or pop into Booth Mansion, which has<br />
been home to wealthy merchants over the centuries <strong>and</strong> now<br />
hosts afternoon teas in the <strong>for</strong>mer ballroom. Alternatively,<br />
afternoon tea at the <strong>Chester</strong> Grosvenor offers a haven of<br />
luxury at the heart of the city. You could even combine it with<br />
a treatment at the day spa.<br />
TAKE A STROLL<br />
Take a walk through Grosvenor Park to The Groves, the<br />
tree-lined promenade along the banks of the River Dee.<br />
This is a perennially popular mooching spot with cafes <strong>and</strong> icecream<br />
kiosks. Or jump aboard a river cruise with <strong>Chester</strong>Boat,<br />
including options <strong>for</strong> sightseeing with afternoon tea.<br />
Take the chance to marvel at Eastgate Clock, <strong>Chester</strong>’s<br />
answer to Big Ben. It was designed <strong>for</strong> Queen Victoria’s<br />
Diamond Jubilee in 1897 <strong>and</strong> today towers above Eastgate<br />
Street, the main shopping thoroughfare.<br />
CATCH DINNER AND A SHOW<br />
Storyhouse, <strong>Chester</strong>’s flagship arts centre combining a<br />
theatre, cinema <strong>and</strong> library, hosts shows from musical<br />
theatre to st<strong>and</strong>-up comedy. Plus, there’s a restaurant with<br />
a Lebanese-motif menu <strong>and</strong> late bar. The Storyhouse team<br />
is also behind the Moonlight Flicks open-air cinema in the<br />
Roman Gardens <strong>and</strong> the Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre,<br />
both running over the summer months.
