"There have been spectacular parades in Chester for hundreds of years, featuring fabulous creatures and giants. Originally based around the famous Mystery Plays and organised by the City Guilds, the modern event celebrates this heritage by putting on show an ever-growing cast of giants, fantastic beasts, musicians and dancers in a colourful display around the city streets."
