Real party atmosphere and good fun. Can get quite busy and some meetings sell out so make sure you get your tickets in advance and DO NOT buy from the ticket touts! More

We went racing here paying top rate for the County section but found little value for money in the facilities. 7 races make for a long day with no seating area close to the race track. More

Took my wife to Chester Races for her birthday. First time for both of us and it was great. A bottle of champagne for thirty pounds, two winners, one place and three losses. My wife loved it and would like to go again. More
