My favourite place in Chester by far. Come here 4-5 times a week to read and journal and it’s a lovely atmosphere even when busy. Going to miss it when I’m in Bognor Regis ( the man in the green corduroy jacket) :))

Went last night for the broadway rave… absolutely amazing. Staff were ace and the vibes were amazing. All the songs were ace and we could even sing using a microphone (something I didn’t do but others partook and were amazing). My friend and I will most definitely be going again! 10/10
