We invite you to explore the Rows this November in honour of "Rowvember" - a celebration of the history, heritage and businesses which makes Chester Rows unique.

​

​Each day throughout November, we will explore a building which makes up part of the Rows, hearing tales of its' past from archaeologist, James Dixon, (jamesdixonarchaeology.com). We will also hear from businesses who call the Rows home and where best to eat, drink, shop and enjoy experiences.

​

Finally, we invite you to experience the Rows for yourself this "Rowvember". Take a guided tour, visit one of our spotlight businesses, grab one of our free family treasure hunts or enjoy one of the pop up dance and choir performances.
