Chester Town Hall

Chester Town Hall, a brilliant Gothic building is a really welcoming place. Access from street level, via an intercom, a lift and a friendly Town Hall Keeper called Dave. Every level of the building is accessible, with Literature Festival welcomers, easily identifiable, who give a personal welcome to all people who have booked disabled tickets. We were shown to reserved seats or spaces with reserved seats for carer too! The seats are usually in thoughtful places, with a great view, easy to access and exit. Welcomers assist if there are crowds exiting and hold back the flow. We are regular attendees and this year the welcome was very warm. I can say this event is so enjoyable for my husband, who is a power chair user and for me. There are no access worries, a good bar and a festival with a varied and stimulating programme.
