Chester attractions

Explore the gory story of medicine through time at a "sick" new attraction in the heart of Chester. Located within the two medieval towers making up the Watertower complex, this family-friendly journey through the history of all things sick, plagued and diseased is a chance to laugh as much as learn. Meet the Grim Reaper and the ancient Greek God of medicine, explore the filthy “Diagnosis Alley”, and even perform an autopsy!

One of Chester's historical gems, St John the Baptist's Church is a wonderful example of 12th-century Norman architecture with a history dating back as far as the 7th century. The church is a local landmark, and is a popular stop on Chester's Hop-on Hop-off Bus tours.
