Glamorous Chester Racecourse Ladies Day with thrilling racing, fashion, a Best Dressed Competition and live music into the evening.
Powells Jewellery Ladies Day returns to Chester Racecourse on Saturday 21 August 2027, one of the biggest dates on the course's annual calendar. It's the day when the racecourse transforms into a hive of racing, fashion and live music, and it's widely known as the occasion for dressing to the nines. The centrepiece is the Best Dressed Competition, which gives out a title for the city's most glamorous guest alongside some substantial prizes.
When the racing finishes and the final horses thunder past the winning post, the day carries on into the evening with a live music act, so it's a full-day affair rather than just a few races in the afternoon. It's part of the racecourse's 2027 fixture list, which brings back Ladies Day alongside the three-day Boodles May Festival — the season opener and the highest calibre of racing the course sees — and the Music Weekend. There's also a new addition this year: The Cheshire Racing Festival, which the course says will celebrate everything that makes Cheshire special and bring a local flavour to the racing calendar.
