About this attraction
About Storyhouse, Chester
Storyhouse is an integrated cultural space in the heart of Chester, blending a public library, intimate theatre, and a ground-floor café in a striking modern building on the site of the former Chester library. Designed to complement Chester's medieval streetscape while serving contemporary audiences, it hosts theatre productions, comedy, live music, readings and exhibitions throughout the year.
The theatre itself is small and versatile, hosting everything from experimental work and touring productions to local community performances. You can browse the library collections, attend events, or simply settle in the café for a drink whilst watching the activity in this busy public space. It's a genuine hub for the city rather than a traditional museum attraction, and worth visiting if you're interested in current arts programming or just want to experience how Chester's cultural life has evolved.
