Sick To Death is a history of medicine attraction in Chester, guided by the Brother Mortem through a gory, playful journey from the plague-ridden past to modern times. You can explore the disease-lurking Diagnosis Alley, learn about the importance of autopsies, step into the time-travelling TURDIS toilet, and discover the truth behind plague doctor masks, quack remedies and magic potions, with some mature content included for older visitors. It's open every day from 10am to 6pm, with last entry at 5pm, and booking isn't required. Note that the venue isn't fully wheelchair accessible due to its raised, Medieval Rows location. Chester station is 0.7 miles away, and with 35 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay in the city.
