Been on Saturday in Chester for a weekend trip. Sightseeing tour incl the Racecourse. Not much of a Racecourse at the weekend with the Wanted and Jessie J on Concert in the Racecourse. Looked very nice though.

I didn't experience the other stands however I am lead to... More

Good course and racing but having to keep your jacket and tie on when its 20+ degrees seems a little over the top for a small racecourse 15 miles from Liverpool!!!!!

First time visit to Chester racecourse. Parking is fun even with a pre-booked space as the police close key roads until well after the racing starts. Once in I was surprised to find the Tattersall stand was standing only, @ over 30 quid a ticket, I'd expect better. Friendly staff are very helpful. You can see the winning line but... More

We visited the racecourse on Roman Day 25th May there was 6 of us and we purchased in advance long room tickets. The weather was glorious and this allowed us to expereance all areas of the race course. Being in the long room it was not the cheapest weekend but we knew this and had budgeted. Bottles of champagne were... More

The Chester May meeting is becoming such a huge "must do" NWUK social event, that's its easy to forget that the racing itself at this meeting is top quality.

The most idyllic setting a racecourse could be , in among Tudor buildings this racecourse is steeped in history and immaculately kept in pristine condition , a walk into the town is highly recommended, on race days there are street buskers wild boar roasts and plenty of bars offering offers , the racecourse its self have plenty of things happening...
