The historic walled city of Chester is a major tourist and business hub. The famous zoo is reason enough to visit the city, but the area has lots more to offer, including excellent shopping, fascinating history, stunning Tudor-style architecture and lively nightlife. To learn about the history of the city, take a walk along the city walls starting at the Eastgate Clock, or visit the Cathedral or even the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain. For shopping, the city itself has everything you need, but for some thrilling designer discounts, head to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet just north of the city.
Village Hotel Chester is perfectly located – just a 15-minute drive away from the centre of Chester and with the scenic beauty of North Wales and the bustling city of Liverpool both right on your doorstep. Plus, everything you need is at our hotel, including a Starbucks, Pub & Grill and state of the Village Health & Wellness Club, all in one location. Your ideal murder mystery break destination.

McTavish-Murder-Mystery
Feb 2025 to September 2025: McTavish Murder Mystery
To celebrate our quarter-century anniversary, we are bringing back our original murder mystery which launched the company back in 2000, revised and updated for 2025. It’s 1928 and the height of the Flapper era. Laird McTavish, miserly millionaire, is celebrating his 100th Birthday, and you’re on the guest list, along with the close family and a few surprise guests! Clunge the Butler welcomes you to the event accompanied by Fanny, the parlour maid, both unusual characters, and then there’s McTavish’s son, the whiter-than-white Curate Robert, and the rather saucy Nurse Golightly. Such characters can only mean you’re in for a great night of entertainment. Soon, you’ll be stunned by a hideous murder and discover the identity of the first victim. But why were they killed, and how was the second murder committed and why? Just a few of the questions you have to ask as an amateur sleuth; you question the suspects and work out the dastardly villain whodunit! ...Did the Butler do it?
October 2025 to November 2025: Better by Nun
Theme: Medieval England Monks & Nuns
