Overview
Chester packs an unusual amount of group-travel demand into a small city, and that shapes what we're asked to do here. Chester Zoo alone draws close to two million visitors a year and is a mainstay for school trips and family outings, while Chester Racecourse - the oldest still operating anywhere in the world - pulls coach parties in for over fifteen meets between May and September. Add the walled Roman city centre, its cathedral and famous two-tier Rows, and you've got a destination that works equally well for a one-day tourist coach, a hen or stag weekend, or a corporate group heading to a conference venue nearby. We provide coach and minibus hire for all of it, from small 8-seat minibuses for a school group to full-size coaches for zoo trips or race day transport. Chester sits within reach of Liverpool, Manchester and Wrexham, and it's around 200 miles - roughly 3.5 to 4 hours by road - from London, so we also handle longer cross-country transfers for groups travelling in from further afield.
Chester, England draws group visitors for everything from corporate conferences and trade shows to school field trips, wedding celebrations, and sporting events. Below are the venues and landmarks our groups visit most often — each one a regular stop on our Chester routes.
