Discover the Magic of Local History, Myths, and Legends.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining Tom Hudson (host, local historian, and City Animator of Live History) and David Atkinson, well‑known Chester writer and tour guide, for a free Easter Saturday event celebrating our Chester VoiceMap walking tours.
- Bishop Lloyd’s Palace, Watergate Street, Chester
- Saturday 4 April at 1pm
This beautiful historic venue is the perfect setting to talk stories, myths, and the magic woven into Chester’s streets.
I’ll also be signing books on the day, and, because no witchy adventure is complete without a little treasure, there will be free magical bookmarks for early arrivals.
Turning Chester’s History Into Stories
For years, I’ve been gathering the myths, legends, and half‑forgotten whispers of Chester’s past and transforming them into stories for families, teachers, and curious wanderers. From Roman soldiers to medieval mischief, from witches to river spirits, Chester is overflowing with tales waiting to be retold.
My approach is simple:
History is a never‑ending well of story ideas.
When you feel stuck, look backwards. A single old building, a strange carving, or a local rumour can spark an entire narrative. Writers’ block doesn’t stand a chance when you treat the past as your creative collaborator.
Walk Through Chester With My Books, Music, and Tours
One of my favourite things about writing as Evelyn Winters is that readers don’t just read the stories, they can step into them. With my VoiceMap tours, music, and books, you can wander through Chester and experience the city the way I do: alive with magic, humming with history and full of characters hiding in plain sight.
Whether you’re a family looking for adventure, a teacher seeking creative resources, or a local who loves discovering new layers of the city, there’s something waiting for you.
