Friday racing day at Chester Racecourse to 'race into the weekend', with afternoon racing, DJs, summer spritz cocktails and food from Horseradish Catering.
The Friday Social is back at Chester Racecourse on Friday 11 June 2027, the course's dedicated Friday racing day. It's pitched as a way to 'race into the weekend' with work colleagues, friends or family, and the brief is an excuse to dress to impress and let loose: the sun out, drinks flowing and the races in full swing.
Racing runs all afternoon, with groovy DJs and summer spritz cocktails on the go, and Horseradish Catering serving food in the hospitality areas. The day sits within the 2027 racing season, which keeps annual favourites like the Boodles May Festival, Music Weekend and Ladies Day, and introduces 'The Cheshire Racing Festival' to bring a distinctly local flavour. Head of Marketing and Communications Sam Martin said the calendar offers a mix of familiar favourites and new themes, and that general admission and hospitality prices have been frozen at 2026 levels.

After the racing, the course points visitors towards the Holiday Inn Express overlooking the River Dee and Commonhall Street Social, its recommended bar. Gates open at 11:30 am, and general admission starts from £11.
