ALEXANDER’S LIVE 01244 401 402 | www.alexanderslive.com Alexander’s is located in Rufus Court, one of Chester’s famous cobbled streets. Open all week it boasts the largest city-centre beer garden in Chester, with a fabulous bar and imaginative menu. Day to day the venue offers a huge range of bands, comedy, theatre, burlesque, poetry and more, so if you’re looking for somewhere that knows how to throw a party, this could be the place. The gardens run a length of the Roman City Walls, and being tucked away it offers the best of both worlds in the form of a city-centre location with the feel of a private countryside spot. Say “I do” then celebrate in style in Alexander’s main room. Primarily a live music venue, this space has it all, and the staff are well versed in fast turn arounds throughout the day. It can host 80 seated for your ceremony, up to 55 for a sit-down wedding breakfast, or 150 for a buffet and the evening bash. You’ll also have use of part of Rufus Court and Abbey Green gardens at the rear.
