Medieval street parade returns

THE Chester Midsummer Watch Parade bursts onto the streets this weekend, starting from Chester Town Hall square at 2pm on both days.

The medieval parade is one of the country’s oldest and most colourful street parades dating from 1498.

The Midsummer Watch characters are based on descriptions from the city archives including the famous family of giants.

The Lord Mayor of Chester, Councillor Sherin Akhtar, who will join the Sunday parade, said: “This parade has been a firm favourite on the streets of Chester in its current form since 1989 but its origins can be traced back to 1498.

“The Summer Watch was originally performed by the City Guilds at Midsummer.
