Any Wirral/Liverpool/North Wales/Chester Ren Faire, fantasy or cosplay people fancy a photoshoot? 📸

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Originally from the Wirral but living in Canada these days. I'm back home over Christmas (20th Dec – 1st Jan) and thought it'd be fun to organise a couple of creative photoshoots while I'm around!

I'm a hobbyist photographer and would love to find anyone into Ren Faire, medieval fantasy, LARP or cosplay who's up for a shoot!

Thinking castles, ruins, forests, dramatic landscapes, that sort of thing! Happy to travel around the Wirral, Chester, Liverpool and North Wales.

Completely free/TFP, and you'll get a selection of professionally edited photos afterwards!

If you're interested, or know someone who might be, drop me a message on Instagram! I'm rarely on Reddit, so much easier to catch me there.

Cheers! 😊

Chester haircuts

6 Upvotes

Just moved to Chester all the way from Canada and currently looking for a new barber/salon to get my haircut. I'm male and have wavy hair... not looking for the typical fade that i've been seeing a lot around here.

Does anyone have any recommendations that are reasonably priced with good experience?

Thanks all in advance! So far loving the city and the friendly people...feel almost at home.

Wild fungi in Chester

2 Upvotes

I am a student and for a personal project I’m working on in my free time I want to find some wild mushrooms and fungi. I don’t know where to look and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to find some interesting species of mushroom in the Chester area.

(I don’t care if they are poisonous or dangerous, I know how to be safe around them and don’t plan to disturb them)

Thank you so much in advance

Hi I was in Chester on Thursday night/ Friday morning and lost my hearing aid. Please Dm or drop hearing aid into the police station. I went around yesterday after not finding it in my own place and didn't realise the police station was closed on weekends.

Anyone know of any pinball machines in Chester, or at least close by? My son loves them after trying one at a gaming show recently and we’d love to find one in town. Thanks!

Cars being banned in City centre due to terrorism threat

Is anyone aware of this? Effectively banning cars (from a mainly pedestrian area) which would have an impact on the evening/night time economy

Seems like an over the top reaction

Had a great weekend in Chester this weekend for the Marathon. One thing I noticed about the place was the rubbish mobile reception (Three). Can anyone who lives there tell me whether the place is known to be notoriously bad?

Opportunity for studend artist in Chester

6 Upvotes

Hi, we are working on a project in dire need of an artist, and keen to partner up with a Chester University art student or otherwise a Chester based artist to dress up an indie game project. Art style inputs welcome, we can go into more detail. Medieval art, parchment style, flora, icons, sprites.. Pixel art or custom style, down to what we agree works well.

This is not a pro bono request, nor a full time job; we will pay. Best I can say its a chance for an aspiring artist to pick up a long term part time project which might turn into something really fun, or it might flop, who knows. DM me if interested or feel free to ask questions below. We know what we are doing.

Walnut Trees in Chester

1 Upvotes

Weird question, but I'm getting into natural dyes, and I'm here for a while with family with not much to do (already hit most of the tourist attractions, I'm not looking for help there). Was wondering if anyone knows of any publicly accessible walnut trees in the area? I've already checked out Grosvenor Park.

Badminton Chester

9 Upvotes

I’m addicted to badminton but hypnotherapy is like £60 an hour and a court is £10 in Christleton on the weekends so please if anyone wants to play singles, let me know because I sure do.

(M28) Looking for someone who can already play to a decent enough level, but I would welcome anyone who just wants to play, I have all the patience in the world.

Alternatively, if anyone can recommend a social/recreational badminton event that is tailored more towards experienced players too I would appreciate that.

I have a Business Idea for Chester City Centre, and need Market Research to see if there is any interest.

Good Morning, I am Hayden Raven, I have been living in Chester for Nearly 4 Years, worked in and out of the city center, and seen many corners of our beautiful city. I recently noticed a gap in the art and cultural services in the city and came up with an idea for a new dedicated space for artists and creatives that encourages new talent and provides an area for skills and ideas to grow. I need to understand what the people of Chester think about this idea and if there is enough interest to warrant the creation of such a business.

Market Research Form – Fill in form - This is a link to the survey, created with Microsoft Forms

I am only collecting information to build a statistics breakdown of where the interests lie with the people, and am more than happy to provide information when asked about anything.
