Spent a really interesting and informative couple of hours at this museum. Admission is just £5 for an adult, £3 concession, £10 for a family ticket. The staff and volunteers were not only friendly and knowledgeable, they showed great enthusiasm and pride in their museum and in their city's military history. One of them took the time to explain to me the layout of the museum and what there is to see here. The first room provided an overview of the army in general and a brief history of Chester Castle, with lots of drawers containing an impressive collection of medals along with the names of their recipients. The rest of the museum then took me on a fascinating journey through the story of the Cheshire Regiment from the 1600's to the present day, their battles and campaigns around the world, and the hardships they endured. Lots of info to read, interactive displays, uniforms, weapons and personal belongings, paintings, photographs and models. Loved the lifelike scenes of events from the Regiment's history! The exhibits are well displayed and meticulously labelled. There's a realistic reconstruction of a WW1 trench, and some interesting WW2 artefacts and old film footage. The route is all on one level and is wheelchair accessible. There's also an exhibition of army vehicles in the old barrack yard. Toilets are halfway round the museum, and the small gift shop at the entrance has some interesting books. Plenty of parking close by (pay and display). I enjoyed the time I spent here and learned a great deal, but there was far too much to take in on a 2 hour visit! Will definitely come again!

If you're a big history fan then I encourage you to go. If you're not that big of an enthusiast there's no point. The entry is paid. It's quite small. I did the whole museum in 15 mins.

It is so well documented and the explanation cards are clear. Quite a succession of war history going back more than a centiry. I recommend. They had to throw me out as they were closing!!! I loved it!

We had a fantastic experience! Dan and the entire team were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. They really went out of their way to interact with my children, making the visit both insightful and memorable for them.

This was a brilliant museum to visit, tracking the history of the Cheshire regiment throughout time! Old uniforms and accessories are shown, alongside the objects once held by military members. The models of people across different areas are well crafted, accompanied by ones of the settings too!
