Cheshire West attractions to support Cheshire Day this week

This special day all about raising the profile of Cheshire, as well as its status as a place to stay, work and play.

And there will be many businesses and attractions supporting the event.

On March 30, 1300, two days after the final reissue of the Magna Carta, King Edward I confirmed a charter of liberties for Cheshire.

The charter remained in place until the 1530s when Henry VIII abolished it as part of his move to bring universal law to his kingdom. 

Cheshire Day is a chance to celebrate everything Cheshire from cheese to salt, architecture to history, shopping on local high streets, visiting Cheshire attractions, dining out in Cheshire, or just experiencing Cheshire.

Lion Salt Works

Visitors to The Lion Salt Works, Northwich, can claim 25 per cent off the entrance charge on Cheshire Day and visit the new temporary photographic exhibition by the Friends of Anderton and Marbury.

Chester indoor Market will be celebrating the best of Cheshire Produce, and Cheshire libraries will be sharing events and activities and some of their favourite photos of Cheshire.

You can share what you are doing to mark Cheshire Day by using the hashtag #CheshireDay for more information and resources go to cheshireandwarrington.com/what-we-do/marketing-cheshire/cheshire-day/.

Councillor Louise Gittins, leader of Cheshire West and Chester Council said: “The day will be marked by the Lord Mayor of Chester, councillor Martyn Delaney and chairman of Cheshire West and Chester Council, councillor Bob Rudd raising the county flag in Chester Town Hall Square.

“Everyone can support the day by heading out to a favourite part of the county or visiting a favourite Cheshire business and talking about it online.

“Last year saw more than 30,000 interactions take place and the hashtag #CheshireDay reached 14 million people. I’m sure we can beat that this year.”
