Chester Racecourse's 'race into summer' day with racing, ChardonHAY and DJs in the Winning Post enclosure.
Summer Saturday is back at Chester Racecourse on Saturday 26 June 2027, the course's 'race into summer' day. It's one of those dates that works for two different crowds: the racing fans who come for the sport, and the social groups who just want a day out in the sunshine. Between the races, there's ChardonHAY with friends and DJs taking to the decks in the Winning Post enclosure, so it's as much about the drinks and the dancing as it is about what's happening on the track.
It sits in a 2027 season that opens with the three-day Boodles May Festival and introduces The Cheshire Racing Festival, a new addition to the fixture list that brings a distinctly local flavour. Sam Martin, Head of Marketing and Communications at Chester Race Company, says the 2027 calendar offers a mix of familiar favourites alongside new themes, and that the course has held its prices from the 2026 season.
