Curzon Park Residents' Association

Here are a few photographs of the wild flowers that are now fully in bloom on The Green.

The launch day of the Chester Heritage Festival was held on 24 May 2025.

Curzon Park was part of the ‘South Bank History Fair’ where local experts showcased fascinating artefacts and stories from Chester’s rich past. This was held inside the Picturehouse.

We shared the ‘nearly complete’ drafts of the three Dingle Interpretation Boards on the top floor. Allan, Tony and Andrew were there for most of the day to talk to the many visitors.

We had over 600 people coming along to the Picturehouse event and many of those took a keen interest in the Dingle project.

Here is a photograph of Allan and Tony with Chester’s Town Crier David Mitchell:

And here is a photo of Allan and Andrew by the boards:

The boards are nearly ready to be printed and placed in The Dingle. We hope this will happen in the summer of 2025.

Here is the approved version of the third interpretation board for The Dingle Project.

It was great to be see so many residents taking part in our annual Carols on The Green event.

Although it had hailed earlier in the day it stayed dry for us, and around 70 residents took part in our collective singing, kindly led for us by Geoff.

We got through plenty of mince pies and mulled wine and the children enjoyed the lollipops on offer.
