Saturday day of racing at Chester Racecourse, with all afternoon racing, DJs, food and drink and the chance to hear the Chester roar, as part of the Summer Social Weekend.
The Saturday Social is at Chester Racecourse on Saturday 12 June 2027, the second day of the venue's Summer Social Weekend. It's the Saturday counterpart to the Friday Social, aimed at anyone who can't make it on the Friday. The day is built around racing all afternoon, with DJs providing music throughout, and the chance to hear the Chester roar as the horses thunder down the final furlong.
Food and drink run from summer spritz cocktails to fresh burgers, with Horseradish Catering handling the hospitality areas. The dress code invites fascinators, frocks and fedoras, so there's plenty of room to lean into the occasion if you fancy it. For those staying over, the Holiday Inn Express looks out over the River Dee, and Commonhall Street Social is the racegoers' bar of choice.
