Return to An Evening with Rob Parsons

An Evening with Rob Parsons Chester

Wednesday 18 November 2026 • 7:30pm

What if the past doesn't get the final say?

From the boy described as ‘making no use of what little ability he has,’ to an international best-selling author and speaker, Rob Parsons has a lifetime’s experience of overcoming obstacles.

Join Rob on a journey through the decades as he reflects on a life mixed with laughter and tears, and draws on vivid stories from childhood, right through to the present day.

He’ll tap into a wealth of experience to help us make the best of our circumstances, gifts, opportunities – and perhaps most of all – our relationships.

In An Evening with Rob Parsons, we invite you to pull up a chair and settle in for a poignant night of storytelling that will reawaken your purpose and stay with you long after you head home.

You'll hear about...

  • Building confidence to move past the labels others put on you
  • Finding hope beyond shattered dreams
  • Enduring the hard times you just can’t fix
  • Being inspired to take on new challenges
  • Why tomorrow doesn’t have to be like yesterday
  • 'Rob has been given an amazing gift of public speaking which comes straight from the heart. You laugh, you cry, and everything in between.'
  • Everything said tonight has resonated with me and encouraged me to have more self-belief - something I've often struggled with.'

What to expect

Is it for you?

Whether you’re 16 and leaving school or 65 and heading for retirement, this event is for everyone! From relationships to work, study to home life, and finances to mental wellbeing, Rob has learnt many lessons from life that will help you whatever stage you’re at.

Settle in for an evening of storytelling. No audience participation, no pressure just space to listen and reflect.

Step into the untold stories from Rob’s lifetime of overcoming obstacles and discovering that the past doesn’t have to define us.
