converting euro cheque into sterling

A question about : converting euro cheque into sterling

I have been paid in a cheque in euros. The amount is 1400 euros. I will be receiving another euro cheque in 6 months time. It will be for 600 euros. . I am in no hurry for the money. Is it best open a euro account now and withdraw it in euro and convert it on the high street/post office

or if not Could someone please advise me how is the best way to convert these into sterling without paying high bank fees

Thanks
