Up The Wall

23rd September 2008

A happening at twilight

Following the amazing success of last years’ Up The Wall, Chester Performs is once again planning a twilight happening on and around Chester’s city walls on Thursday 2nd – Saturday 4th October between 7pm and 10pm.

“Last years’ event proved so much more popular than we ever could have imagined, over the two evenings we attracted over 3,500 people. This year we’ve extended the event to three days, developed our relationship with theCathedral and moved the event to October, in the hope that it will be slightly warmer… We’ve got some real treats lined up so keep an eye out for what’s coming up” Amber Knipe, Project Co-ordinator, Chester Performs
