Welcome to the new-look Ultimate Guide. We paused publication when Covid-19 hit, but now we’re back with a bumper edition that’s bursting with ideas for fun-filled day trips and exciting evenings out across the county. We’ve turned these unprecedented times into an opportunity, waving a digital wand over Cheshire’s leading events magazine to change it into an e-magazine. So now we can whizz the latest news about the best things to do and see in the area straight to your laptop, tablet or phone. These have been difficult months, yet the whole community in Cheshire has risen to the challenge of the pandemic and is now coming back better than ever. Flick through the following pages and you’ll see that many of your favourite events and attractions are open for business once more – and there are some new surprises to enjoy, too. Make a date in your diary to be dazzled by one of the lights displays that will illuminate the night skies across Cheshire (p22-p23). Grab the dog’s lead and stride out on a bracing walk to a cosy country pub (p14-p17). Shop for presents at Chester’s Christmas Market (p25), which makes a welcome return. And keep your eyes peeled for the “Roving Moon”, which will hover above the city centre as part of a dynamic new community arts programme, Chester Designed By Nature (p24-p25). Still got energy for more? Then check out our What’s On listings (p12-p13). You won’t be short of ideas for things to do this winter with your new-look Ultimate Guide. This guide has been put together by Marketing Cheshire and was made possible with the help of our editor Kate Simon and with the invaluable support, ideas and reality checks of the Marketing Cheshire team. Thanks also to our partners and contributors.
