Lord Mayor of Chester supports the Samaritan’s Brew Monday by opening up Chester Town Hall
The third Monday in January is often labelled as “Blue Monday” but every year the Samaritans, nationally and locally turn it into “Brew Monday” to encourage everyone to reach out to someone. The Town Hall will be open for Brew Monday on 20 January 2025 as part of the campaign which promotes social connections at a difficult time of year.
The Lord Mayor of Chester will be opening Chester Town Hall to residents and visitors for them to enjoy the splendours of this magnificent building and learn about Chester’s Civic history, including why Chester has a Lord Mayor.
Councillor Razia Daniels said: “I am delighted to be able to support the Samaritan’s important Brew Monday initiative by welcoming people into Chester Town Hall, to have a look around, enjoy a hot drink and to share this opportunity with others.”
The event and refreshments are free, but donations to the Samaritans and the Lord Mayor’s charities are welcome. The Town Hall, at Northgate Street, CH1 2HJ, will be open from 11am to 3pm. There will be a special talk at 2pm for anyone interested in learning why Chester has a Lord Mayor and a Sheriff. Please only bring small bags into the Town Hall, as larger ones may be subject to searches.
Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123 free from any phone
