Getting Here
On Foot
We're a few minutes' walk from the Cross, in the middle of the city. Head along Watergate Street and look for the steps up into the Rows.
By Car
The nearest car park is NCP Grosvenor on Nicholas Street, a short walk from Watergate Row. There's also on-street parking nearby, with Blue Badge spaces on the street itself.
By Train
Chester station is about a 10 to 15 minute walk. Head into the city along Foregate Street and Eastgate Street, then turn onto Watergate Street at the Cross.
Accessibility
We want to be honest about this. The Chester Rows are reached by steps, and there's no lift to the first floor at our spot on Watergate Row South. Once you're up, the shop itself is all on one level.
If you have access requirements you'd like to talk through, whether for a visit or an event, please get in touch before you come. We'll help however we can, and we'd much rather have the conversation than have you make the journey unnecessarily.
