Arts & culture / CHESTER

Storyhouse

A library, cinema and theatre share this arts venue, giving you several ways to spend time indoors. Drop in to read and browse, or make a film or performance your booked focus. The library is a useful low-cost pause even when there is no show that suits your date.

Before you go

Free entry to the building does not include every event. Check the programme and running time before buying performance tickets, and allow time for a meal before the start.

The practical details

Where to find it: Hunter Street, just off Northgate Street in central Chester.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: No ticket needed to visit the library. Book films and performances separately; a free event may also have a reservation requirement.
Access and getting around: The venue reports lift and wheelchair access throughout. Check specific seating and companion-ticket arrangements through its access information before booking a performance.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: A reading break offers a calmer alternative to another long walk. Check the current family programme for age guidance and whether a session needs booking.

Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.

Make it part of your day

Allow 45–90 minutes; longer for a show for the visit, plus travel and breaks. This is a suggested planning allowance; opening times, access and availability may affect your plans.
