Something for everyone at this year's Festival of Ideas

The Chester Chronicle

|

June 12, 2025

BOOKINGS are now open as the full Chester Festival of Ideas 2025 programme of almost 100 free events is launched.

The final line-up of exciting, diverse, inclusive and accessible events for the four-day festival this summer, organised by the University of Chester and partners, has been unveiled.

The festival is back after its inaugural success in 2024 with everything from the chance to hear from well-known, inspirational sportspeople and broadcasters to the opportunity to get creative at art workshops.

Aiming to celebrate, entertain, inform and inspire, the festival takes place from Thursday, July 3 to Sunday, July 6.

All the details are available and places can now be booked on the Festival of Ideas website.

Events will be hosted at venues across Chester, including Chester Town Hall - the festival hub, Storyhouse, the Grosvenor Museum, Chester Cathedral, Chester Market, Chester Picturehouse and event spaces across the University of Chester.

With a taste of the events for all ages and interests already shared and a recent award from the Civic Trust, organisers are excited to again welcome people to the city in July to enjoy speakers, discussion panels, theatre, pop-up exhibitions, interactive events, music, readings, guided walks and much more.
