Chester Festival of Ideas is returning after its inaugural success in 2024 with guests for this year including a Paralympian champion and trailblazing journalist.

Hannah Cockroft OBE, a seven-time Paralympian champion, and Kate Adie CBE, former chief news correspondent for the BBC, will feature in the four days of inspiration, learning and celebration, this July.

The free Festival, run by the University of Chester and partners, is back following a stream of visitors enjoying its near-to-100 free events in 2024.

A full programme for the Festival and ticket booking for events will open in early May 2025.
