Evening of racing at Chester Racecourse that turns into an Ibiza-inspired party at sunset with live music.
Ibiza Classics Evening returns to Chester Racecourse on Friday 9 July 2027, one of the racedays the course is bringing back for its 2027 season. It's a two-part night: the racing takes the first half, and as the sun goes down, a live music act takes over and the whole thing turns into an Ibiza-inspired party.
It sits within a 2027 fixture list that keeps several of the course's biggest annual favourites. There's the guest-favourite Music Weekend, the best-selling Ladies Day and the iconic Boodles May Festival, which opens the racing season on 5-7 May and hosts the highest calibre of racing the course will see. New to the calendar is 'The Cheshire Racing Festival', introduced to celebrate everything that makes Cheshire special and bring a distinctly local flavour to the racing season. Sam Martin, Head of Marketing and Communications at Chester Race Company, says the 2027 calendar offers a brilliant mix of familiar favourites and new themes.

One detail worth noting is that a price freeze holds 2027 day-out prices at 2026 levels. General admission tickets for the Ibiza Classics Evening start from £11, with higher prices for enclosures and hospitality. Gates open at 3:00 pm, so you've got the racing first and the party later.
