Attention #Chester. The forerunner of the EU (the European Coal and Steel Community) was created on 9 May 1950, and the day is celebrated througout the continent with a series of events and activities. So we are holding an event to mark the day.

We are holding a Walk around the Walls of Chester, please come along with us for this fun and sociable events. As the walls have stood since Roman times, the event is about celebrating our historic attachment to the rest of Europe and our desire to maintain united within the EU.

Also with Brexit still looming and politicians making us look unwelcoming as a nation, we want to present a positive image of our city to our visitors and EU27 citizens who are part of the fabric of our community whether permanently or for a short while & who we value greatly.

In fact as a group, we value everybody who chooses to make their home in our city wherever in the world they have come from.

We will be meeting at the Storyhouse at 6.30, joining the Wall at Northgate Street and (if you are late) proceeding clockwise to complete the circuit.

We may ** then retire to a City Centre pub for further celebration of our continuing EU membership.

** almost certainly will 😉

Register on our eventbrite page to help estimate potential numbers, no ticket required though. You can just turn up, we want you all to come and enjoy our City heritage with us. #FBPE
