We may still be in lockdown, but there is still much to celebrate and be thankful for this long weekend.
This Friday marks the 75th anniversary of VE day and whilst the celebrations may not be as elaborate as previously planned, you can still embrace and give thanks to mark this milestone anniversary. 75 years ago, the sacrifices made by so many gave us the freedom we know and love and though we are not enjoying quite as much as we used to, the good times will come again and once more it will be thanks to the sacrifice of others.
Celebrate this Friday and throughout the weekend with your loved ones at home and raise a glass in gratitude. Get your Stay at Home party going with some delicious food – whether you fancy an Afternoon Tea, Â burgers or pizza there’s a local business listed below who would be so grateful for your orders.
You can always support these businesses by buying vouchers to use when this is all over – which it will be.
We will continue to update the website with any additions or changes to takeaways and deliveries in Chester and you can find out about virtual events taking place
Let’s celebrate Chester style and you know We’ll Meet Again (soon)! …
