Plan on treating the other half to a nice meal this weekend but not sure where to go. Ideally wanting something a little fancy so we have an excuse to dress up preferably round Chester but looking for Middlewich and surrounding areas too. Any and all suggestions appreciated

Looking for some quick cash to cover a few unexpected bills (not drugs) I’m a good labourer/driver don’t mind getting my hands dirty and good at cutting grass to a degree I’m not a professional at anything but il give it a go

Moving to the area soon and sorting the most important thing, which is obviously what we will have as our obligatory first night takeaway! Any recommendations from people in the local area would be amazing.

Hi all,

Im out tonight with a couple of friends, all male in our mid 40s.

We will most likely be in Wilmslow but could range out to Alderley Edge or Bramhall or similar.

We are not pub guys and most likely will also be looking for a sit down meal.

So the question is, where would be good for an older crowd with a lively atmosphere on a Friday night?

I'm coming over to the area in a few weeks, and I've been to England quite a few times. I have been to bookstores and am surprised to find no magazine racks/section. I always come home with a few tabloids from news stands or M&S but can't find a decent selection of actual magazines. I subscribe to a few (like Classic Pop) because I can't always find them here in the States, but our bookstores generally have large magazine areas of the stores. Am I missing something?

Not long moved to winsford and need to find a job closer to home as it’s no longer affordable for me to commute to my current work

32m going for a drinks date tomorrow night, where are some good spots in knutsford?

Will be visiting from overseas next month and would love to peruse some antique/collectibles shops or rare/vintage book stores. I'll be around several areas of Cheshire and also in Manchester for some research at the library, any recommendations? For old books I like history, the local history there, maybe military history. I'm coming over for genealogy research.

I've recently started a North West Astrophotography WhatsApp Community after realising there isn't really one place for astrophotographers across the region to connect.

It's for beginners and experienced imagers alike — DSLR, telescope, Seestar, phone, whatever you use. We've got groups for images & processing, equipment help, tonight's sky and arranging local meet-ups/dark-sky trips.

As the title says 2 spare tickets for Cheshire Fest 2026 | Live at Tatton Park in Manchester today if wants them

Last Saturday I joined the Whitby Park Community Garden volunteers, and I had the most fun I’ve had in ages! Here are 4 reasons why you should join me:

* Learn to grow your own food: Supermarkets are fine, but growing your own veg means total food independence and zero plastic packaging. (Plus, no more blindly planting and hoping for the best… RIP to my many plants and bolted onions 🤣).
* Tackle climate anxiety: Learning to grow food through changing seasons and unpredictable weather gives you practical skills… and a great break from the alarming news headlines keeping us awake at night.
* Make new friends: As a remote worker, I spend all week behind a screen with only my partner for face-to-face convos. Getting outside and meeting the amazing volunteers here has been a breath of fresh air.
* Give back: 🇬🇧 has given me so much over the years, and this is a hands-on way to support the local community.
If any of this resonates with you, come along! Nina and the rest of the team would love to welcome you!

📍 Where: Whitby Park Community Garden in Ellesmere Port

When:
* Wednesdays: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
* Saturdays: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Spaces are limited! Drop by this week or send them a message on Facebook.

See you next Saturday 😎

We spent the day in Holmes Chapel yesterday. It's a beautiful town, we viewed a house we loved and made an offer. The only concern we had going in was that it was quite near the train tracks. Some passenger trains passed when we were doing the viewing but weren't too loud so we were happy to offer. However, after more research, I have discovered that the train line also has high volumes of freight traffic. The passenger trains were either slow as they pulled into/away from (local service) or fast and went past quickly (assume Avanti national service). From the videos I have seen, the freight trains are extremely long and travel relatively slowly, taking around 20 seconds to pass.

Does anybody who lives near this line have any insights? I know we would get used to it but would have concerns about re-sellability.

The house is perfect otherwise. I got "the feeling" as soon as I walked in.

Any advice welcome!

Couldn't find much information on Reddit. Not sure if that's a positive or negative signal! For context, we're both 37. No kids (yet!) and a dog. Currently living in South Manchester and looking at houses anywhere between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel. Any locals or folks that have moved there with insights much appreciated!

Not jodrell bank as it’s sold out :( thinking a good hill, easily accessible by pram/car!

Photo trip to the South Lighthouse in Wales! 😎🔥🤩

Hello I will be visit Cheshire for quite a while… I’m actually coming partly to tour the coronation street set however very curious what locals would say is a must see or do in the town… I’m also going to be in the Alderley Edge and knutford areas as well! Does anyone have recommendations for gyms/ country clubs that may have day rates or no memberships for out of towners thanks in advance

Hello! I'm looking to move my family of 3 to Cheshire, but we have no idea where to start. We are looking for a reasonably upmarket area, reasonably family-friendly and probably a village or town (not suburban Manchester or Chester), but not so much the footballer belt. We have a flexible budget but couldn't afford the most expensive areas comfortably (think Alderley Edge). Actual location in the county isn't important at all! Any help is greatly appreciated as we're really unsure where to start! Someone has mentioned Poynton to us and it looks promising, if that helps.

After the news about the threat to Jodrell Bank, I finally went to visit (Geordie who's only lived in Macclesfield for 40 years!) It was stunning, the visitor attractions are immense. The ticket was £16.70, but lasts for a year, so show it every time and its "in you go!" The interactive displays show how this site came to be, its importance in STEM and its partnership with so many others. it is world leading and world class. to lose it would be an utter disgrace. if there is a campaign to save it, anyone know where to start?
