The summer holidays have officially begun, and families across Chester are looking for fun ways to keep the children entertained.
If you’re searching for things to do in Chester with kids, planning a family day out, or simply looking for a great rainy day activity in Chester, we’d love to welcome you to Pictura Chester this summer.
One piece of advice though…
If you’re thinking of visiting during the school holidays, we’d recommend booking your table in advance.
The first week of the summer holidays is traditionally one of our busiest periods, with many families planning days out and looking for indoor activities when the weather changes. Reserving your table means you can relax knowing everything is ready for your visit.
Make Memories That Last Longer Than the Summer Holidays
The best family days out aren’t always the busiest—they’re the ones where everyone slows down, spends time together and creates something special.
At Pictura Chester, you can choose from hundreds of pottery pieces, from mugs and bowls to animals, keepsakes and seasonal decorations. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a regular visitor, pottery painting is suitable for all ages and abilities.
There’s no pressure, no experience needed and no right or wrong way to paint—just choose your pottery, pick your colours and enjoy being creative together.
Celebrate National Ice Cream Day This Sunday
This Sunday is National Ice Cream Day, making it the perfect excuse to treat the whole family.
While you’re painting, why not enjoy one of our delicious Cheshire Farm Ice Cream milkshakes, a barista-made coffee, pizza or one of our sweet treats?
It’s the perfect combination of creativity and great food, all under one roof.
Rain or Shine, It’s the Perfect Day Out
British summers can be unpredictable, but that’s exactly why pottery painting is such a popular choice.
Sunny? Escape the midday heat in our comfortable, air-conditioned studio.
Raining? Stay warm and dry while creating something you’ll treasure for years to come.
Whatever the forecast, you’ll leave with more than just great memories—you’ll have a handmade keepsake to remind you of the summer.
Looking for Something for Creative Children?
If your child loves drawing, painting and making things, don’t forget that The Art School Chester is running its popular Summer Art Academy throughout the school holidays.
Led by experienced art teachers, these workshops are perfect for young artists aged 6–14 who want to learn new skills, make friends and enjoy a creative summer.
Don’t Miss Out This Summer
The school holidays are always a popular time to visit, especially at weekends and during wet weather.
If you’re planning a visit with family or friends over the next few weeks, we’d recommend reserving your table in advance to avoid disappointment.
We can’t wait to welcome you and help make your summer holidays a little more colourful, creative and memorable.
