The A41 road marks the suburb's eastern boundary, with the separate Hoole Village approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) away.

The annual Hoole Christmas Lights switch-on by a local celebrity attracts crowds of thousands to Faulkner Street.

There is one tier of local government covering Hoole, at unitary authority level: Cheshire West and Chester Council.

The main changes were that it absorbed part of the neighbouring parish of Newton (which was abolished), and it ceded an area in the south to the city.

[15][16] The area east of the A41 was mostly transferred to Hoole Village, except for a smaller part which was added to Guilden Sutton.

These churches work together to host Hoole's largest free annual event 'Funday on a Sunday', which attracted more than 6,000 people in July 2006.

[22] This event was held in previous years in Alexandra Park, but in 2006 moved to the nearby, larger, Coronation Playing Fields.

The Funday event was held on the Coronation Playing Fields again in 2007 and 2008, by which time it had become part of the Chester-wide Chesterfest organised by churches in Chester.

RAF pilot and charity founder Leonard Cheshire was born (on 7 September 1917) at 65 Hoole Road, which is now a guest house.
