Christmas in Chester is always a magical time. The nights start drawing in and it’s time for our students to hand in their assignments and celebrate with their friends and family. Once the Christmas lights have been switched on it signals the countdown to Christmas.
The Christmas Market is always very popular, it’s great for picking up quirky gifts and having a festive drink and bite to eat.
Chester Cathedral have an impressive festive display. We love visiting their Christmas Tree Festival, don’t forget to vote for your favourite!
Departments on campus also got into the festive spirit. There was even a rather spectacular light switch on!

Staff and students were encouraged to tap into their artistic side at winter workshops, there was the opportunity to learn how to make festive decorations, stocking fillers and reindeer food – it’s vital to make sure the reindeer are fuelled up for a busy night of deliveries!
There were festive charity bake sales and Christmas cacti available to purchase to help those less fortunate.
As you can see, there’s always lots going on over the festive season both on campus and in the city centre! All that's left for us to say is that wish hope you have a very Merry Christmas with family and friends, and we hope to see many of you at an Experience Day in the New Year!
