When we wander around Chester Rows we hear a whole range of things at the same time, so much that it can be hard to pick out individual sounds. This free event will create a different experience of Chester Rows. Listen to the sounds, as your guide only leads: up and down the Rows; in and out of buildings and businesses; and through spaces. Leave this walk with a new understanding of Chester’s historic Rows as a physical space and container of contemporary life.
By simply paying attention to how the Rows are used today, this event counters the problem of ‘too much information’ that only gives us certain understandings of the past. This tour of the Rows includes many steps. It is not intended for children
