A MAJOR campaign has been launched to promote events and festivals in and around Chester this summer.
Coordinated by Visit Chester and Cheshire and Virgin Trains, the £200,000 campaign was launched at Euston Station by a squad of Roman centurions.
As part of the campaign, musical director Matt Baker has written a song - called Eventful Escapes - to encapsulate the excitement of Chester and Cheshire’s action-packed season.
“I am thrilled that this piece will be performed publicly as part of the Eventful Escapes launch,” he said. “I’ve captured the real excitement and appeal of visiting Chester and Cheshire by train to experience some of the fantastic events taking place this year. I hope both visitors and local people will like it.”
With a packed timetable of events, and just a two-hour train ride from London, the campaign aims to make Chester a favourite summer destination for travellers from all over the UK.
