Shuffle the deck... if you've got the stomach for it 🩸

Here's our FIRST set of Top Trumps of Medicine Through Time: 10 healers from ancient Greece, India, Persia, Jamaica, China and beyond who dragged medicine out of the dark ages (through plenty of blood, pus and dodgy dissections along the way).

Colin's had a glow up! Or to be more accurate, the autopsy suite has.

We've recently added more lighting to our history of anatomy room, keeping the same atmospheric feel you expect from us here at Sick to Death, while improving the visibility and legibility of our displays. There's so much fascinating information in this room and we don't want people to miss out on it!

Now, speaking of glow-ups, Colin is actually booked in for his own personal one this week... just checking, frosted tips are still cool, right?

At both Sick to Death and our sister site Deva Roman Experience, we have always looked forward to the annual Chester Pride events, to show our support for the LBGTQIA+ community and to come together with the people and businesses of Chester to spread positivity and love in our city. To prepare for the parade going past our building on Saturday, we put our banner up on the fencing outside our building yesterday (11th August), however, when our staff returned this morning, we found our sign torn down, and vandalised.

Events like this highlight the reason we celebrate Pride, and why it is so important to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community against homophobia, transphobia and prejudice. Sick to Death and Deva Roman Experience will continue to stand with the community in the face of discrimination and our businesses will always be safe and inclusive spaces.

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday to celebrate not only our present-day community, but to commemorate the hardships faced and battles won by LGBTQIA+ people throughout history.
