Trainers,

Big Heritage, the official Niantic community partner in Europe, just announced more details about the upcoming event in Chester, UK. The event is happening at the Chester Heritage Festival on 22-23rd July.

In short, it seems that Chester is getting one of the best Pokémon GO events ever imagined, with trails, crafts, historic sites, Raid Radiom, a huge amount of PokéStops and Lures.

We hope this will become the template for all future real-world Pokémon GO events.

These in-game features will be available:

Over 120 new Pokéstops and gyms across the city , (we think Chester will have the highest concentration of gyms in any city!)

We will be helping to share radio info live via the Facebook event page and broadcasting live on Facebook throughout the weekend. Make sure you’re following our page to keep updated.

Chance to your own Pokéstop – As part of our partnership with Niantic Inc, we are aiming to hugely increase Pokéstops and gyms at historic sites across the UK. We will be asking players over the festival to nominate historic sites or places in their own local area (not just Chester) and adding these into the game (conditions apply!).

These activities are now confirmed:
