Christmas at Storyhouse
Visit Storyhouse this Christmas!
Right in the heart of Chester, just a short walk from the Christmas markets, Storyhouse is the perfect place to spend time this festive season. Meet friends for a mulled wine, gather with family, catch a film, enjoy something from our festive menu or settle in with a book and a mince pie.
Whether you’re taking a break from Christmas shopping, planning a festive day out, or looking for a cosy corner to relax, there’s always a warm welcome waiting for you at Storyhouse.
Get ready to let your hair down this Christmas with big beats, big hair and even bigger festive fun in our spectacular Storyhouse Originals pantomime, Rapunzel.
From classic films and family favourites to live events and seasonal activities, explore everything happening at Storyhouse throughout December below.
Christmas Day is the only day of the year we’re closed. We’re open 8am–8pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and 9am–8pm on New Year’s Day.
#ThisHouseIsYourHouse
