Summer day out at the races with racing, live entertainment and decorative florals around the course.
Chester Racecourse is bringing back the Midsummer Meeting on Saturday 24 July 2027, with the gates opening at 11:30 am. It's one of the summer fixtures on the course's calendar, and the day is billed as 'Sip, Style & Stride Into Summer'—a summer day out that pairs the racing on the track with live entertainment and decorative florals around the course.
It sits on a fixture list that keeps many of the venue's biggest annual highlights. There's the guest-favourite Music Weekend and the best-selling Ladies Day, alongside the iconic Boodles May Festival, which opens the racing season in early May and hosts the highest calibre of racing the course will see. New to the 2027 calendar is 'The Cheshire Racing Festival', introduced to celebrate everything that makes Cheshire special and bring a distinctly local flavour to the racing.
