Welcome to Chesterwiki, our interconnected community effort to explore, discuss and compile anything and everything about Chester — especially the little, enjoyable things that only the locals would know. Over 150,000 people have visited this site so far (and we are the 172,995th most popular site in the UK :) ). We have reviews of pubs, restaurants, shops and everything else in Chester, and everyone is welcome to add content. This entire site is non-commercial and maintained by the people who use it:- anyone can edit this website! We currently have 579 articles and 302 users. We have "twin towns" (wiki-wise) in the wikis for Shetland, Richmond and Mankato. If you're new, check out our Introduction to Chesterwiki. The extensive local authority website is also worth a look. For detailed history try British History Online. We are not the only "unofficial" website about Chester. You might want to visit:

What is unique about this site is that YOU can edit it, add articles, videos, reviews etc. All you need to do is log in (which takes a moment and doesn't ask for any personal information).

Recent News

The new forum is still very quiet: so head on over there and get posting. Suggestions for features in the wiki are welcome. Prompted by My Chester Jobs, we have added a new page for those seeking Jobs in Chester.

The local authority has made significant changes to it's web pages. As previously, we didn't get any notice of this, so it will be a while before all the Neighbourhoods links are updated. The Handbridge.com site has gone very flash - can we expect more here?

Getting Started

More than anything we want YOU to get involved. Whether you are a website related in some way to Chester, someone who lives here or a person with an interest in Cestrian things.

First, check out the Chester Wiki Guide, which explains what a wiki is and how it works, if you don't already know. Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Or read How Wikis Work for some information on the philosophy of wiki.

Feel free to create new pages — just remember to link them so they can be found. If you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, see what pages we need or head over to the forum to find out what else needs to be done.

If you own a pub, restaurant or another business in Chester please feel free to list yourself - it doesn't cost a penny! However, please don't post gigabyte sized images or add pages of advertising. Try to stick to the facts - we are a "not for profit" wiki and we are not here to host a huge business website for free! If you run a website related to Chester, then add a listing on the Chester online page. If you are from Wikipedia then feel free to copy and link to or copy our content (although a reciprocal link would be nice).

Now this is a pub!. None of that fancy foreign bottled malarkey. Just Sam Smith's frighteningly thick Old Brewery Bitter, and that terrifyingly strong lager whose name you can't remember that blows your head off. A pint of bitter is about £1.28 and pint of lager about £1.58! You cannot beat that! - in fact Southerners have been known to query the prices thinking that they have been undercharged: more >

Excellent entertainment, good food, pleasant surroundings and brilliant service. Should definitely be a contender for an award at the Food and Drink Festival. more >
