If you are looking for entertainment and culture this January in Chester City you will not be disappointed. There are plenty of fantastic events taking place in and around Chester this January and getting out and experiencing all there is to offer is the best way to beat the post-Christmas blues.
This January Chester is taking a look into its Victorian history. For Chester residents life was a joy in the beautiful town but this was only the case in the upper and middle classes. For some Victorian Chester inhabitants life was very different and often very hard. Chester Grosvenor Museum will be taking a look into this lifestyle and opening our eyes to Chester ancestry.
Grosvenor Museum is a wonderful attraction to visit throughout the year with several permanent collections that explore the history of Chester and its people. There is also an exciting calendar of special exhibitions to give you something new and fresh to sink your teeth into. This January is all about the Victorian era in Chester and how it affected the lives of some local people.
Theft was a common problem due to poverty for some aspects of society and Chester’s Grosvenor museum holds a light up to this fascinating world.
This exhibition makes a great day out this winter and it is an excellent chance to learn about history and local culture.
This exhibition is titled ‘Picking a Pocket or Two’ and opens up to reveal Chester history and heritage on Friday the 3rd of January 2014. The last chance to see the exhibition is Friday the 28th of March. Entry to the museum is free so there is no excuse not to take advantage of culture right on your doorstep.
Why not experience a charming day out in the beautiful town of Chester, fit in a bit of shopping in the January sales, lunch and a historical trip to the museum.
