Chester's first Mr Bear UK search, a drag competition where the winner gets £100 cash and entry into Mr Bear UK.
Mr Bear UK is coming to the Liverpool Arms on Saturday 28 November, and it's a bit of a milestone for the city: this is Chester's first-ever Mr Bear UK search. If you've never come across it, the title is exactly what it sounds like — a search for the city's representative for the national Mr Bear UK competition.
It's a straightforward setup. The night is all about finding a local bear to take the title for Chester, and the winner walks away with a £100 cash prize. Beyond the money, though, the real prize is the entry into Mr Bear UK, the national competition that takes the winner onto a much bigger stage. So, if you've got a bear in your life who's been waiting for a reason to put themselves forward, this is the one.
It's a first for Chester, which gives the whole thing a bit of a celebratory feel — the first time the city has had its own search to feed into the national run. Whether you're there to enter or just to cheer someone on, it's a night built around the community.

The search kicks off at 9:00pm at the Liverpool Arms, so it's a late one that runs well into the night. If you're planning to enter, it's worth getting there early to get your name in the hat before things get properly underway.
