Co-hosts Elohor Udubrae, Dr. Alex Fenton and Dr. Trevor Omoruyi explore the connection between international students and the commonwealth. At the University, we are particularly blessed with many students from the Commonwealth, in particular Nigeria, Pakistan and India, but also Malaysia, Ghana, Bangladesh and many more. We invite guests to tell their stories and songs of travelling from their home country in the commonwealth to Chester and we explore the commonalities and special bond that we have between commonwealth countries and also the bridge between cultures at University of Chester. We explore culture, music, food and poetry from the Commonwealth.

No matter if you are from the UK, the commonwealth or any country, students, staff and other guests are welcome to join us in the beautiful grounds of Queen’s Park. Meet outside the Churchill building at 10.50. Traditional dress from your home country is encouraged. Bring a picnic blanket and some food and drinks from your home country to share with others to try. Bring music, laughter and fun to join our picnic.

Festival of Ideas

End Date: 6 July 2025 4:00 pm

Location: Various across the city

Book Now

The Festival of Ideas is a programme of free, inclusive and accessible public events on a wide range of themes in and around Chester, co-created by the University of Chester and external stakeholders and city partners.

These events may include; speakers, discussion panels, theatre, pop-up exhibitions, interactive events, music, readings, guided walks and many more!

The Festival is founded on the University of Chester’s mission to create community and serve society through the transformative power of education, research and our Citizen Student Strategy.

It is based on our foundational values to recognise the pursuit of truth and freedom of enquiry, to find joy in discovery, to take pleasure in invention, and to celebrate human creativity. We seek to set out a programme of diverse, inclusive and accessible public events, to make an impact on the lives of communities, partners, students and staff that we work with.

The Festival aligns with the Partnership Agreement signed by the University and Cheshire West and Chester Council, which highlights our potential to deliver the ‘One City Plan’.

The Festival will provide a platform for residents to engage in ideas and discussions about our city’s history and it’s future. The events programme will seek to inspire residents to think about civic participation and it will encourage collaboration between private enterprise, public services, education providers and the community, voluntary and faith sectors in Chester, so that we can work together to ensure a healthier, greener and fairer future for all of Chester’s people.
