12 Days of Christmas Parade, Chester

12 Days of Christmas Parade, Chester at Chester city centre is on Thursday 19 November 2026, 7pm, about 55 minutes' drive from Timperley. Free, no need to book, good for most ages, outdoors.

An evening parade through Chester city centre, led by community groups and local artists, to mark the start of the festive season. It's free to watch from the pavement, and the organisers hint that Father Christmas might make a surprise appearance. It runs on the same weeks as the city's Christmas market and the grotto on Eastgate Square, so it pairs well with an early look round either.

Drive from Partington 50 min · Timperley 55 min · Altrincham 55 min · Hale 55 min · Sale 60 min · Stretford 60 min · Urmston 60 min · Wythenshawe 60 min
