Up the Wall, only 2 days to go... full programme to download
With only two days to go preparations are in full swing and we are just moving onto site.
As a sneak preview, below is the full event programme, (available in print on the night) and a few tips and wrinkles to help you on your way!
When:
Friday 22 + Saturday 23 October - 7-9pm.
Pieces run throughout the night, so come along at any point between those hours.
How much: FREE
Where:
Chester Roman Gardens and the Groves.
You can experience the work in any order and at your own pace, but a good start point for your journey round Up the Wall might be at the corner of Lower Bridge Street and The Groves (1 on the map on the programme) then follow the map sequentially.
The information point is on the Groves itself, at the base of the Roman Gardens,
For those travelling from out of town this link may help you:
Postcodes are a bit unhelpful for SatNavs around The Groves and take you to places you don't want to be. If driving, then a useful postcode might be for the nearest multi-storey car park:
NCP
Pepper Street
City Centre, Chester CH1 1DF
0845 050 7080
From there you can either walk along the Wall itself to The Groves or cut through (via Park St and Duke St) to Lower Bridge Street to reach point 1 on the map.
Things you need to sign-up for:
Most of the work is durational and can be experienced at any time, but for:
15. Tom Marshman - My Wall in Words - a very limited capacity tour of 10-15 minutes and you need to sign up for a slot at the Info point
and
16. Rachel Henson - Flickers - a very limited capacity individual flickbook journey taking maybe 20 minutes, and you sign up at point 16 on the map.
Last tips:
Please wrap up warm and bring weatherproof clothing!
A torch might be handy too!
Public Toilets are situated further along the Groves beyond Hickories or you can kill two birds with one stone and have a warm-up drink in Hickories or The Albion and avail yourself of the facilities there!
We look forward to seeing you on Friday or Saturday and hope you enjoy!
