I’ve been back in this glorious property for around seven months now. I helped create Oddfellows over 16 years ago, and I’m back to restore it to what it was always meant to be — an eccentric, characterful place where you can be whomever you want to be and good times are all that matter. Over the past few months, my amazing team (and I) have been working hard behind the scenes — smartening things up, pouring in a lot of love, and creating a safe, inclusive space to celebrate love, friendship, and happiness in all their forms. However you choose to enjoy the Springtime in Chester, Oddfellows is the place to be. We can’t wait to welcome you up the magic staircase and into the madness. With love, Izzy x
