Chester Racecourse has confirmed dates for its 2027 season, with some of its biggest annual fixtures set to return.
The iconic Boodles May Festival, guest-favourite Music Weekend and best-selling Ladies Day, are among the guest favourites lined up for next year's fixture.
General admission and hospitality tickets are now on sale, with a price freeze offering racegoers a 2027 day out at 2026 prices.
The three-day Boodles May Festival will open the racing season, with the historic meeting returning on 5 to 7 May, featuring top trainers, horses and jockeys kickstarting the year's events.
New to the fixture list is 'The Cheshire Racing Festival', which will celebrate everything that makes Cheshire special, bringing a distinctly local flavour to the racing calendar.
Sam Martin, head of marketing and communications at Chester Race Company, said: "We're really excited about the 2027 calendar.
"There's a brilliant mix of familiar favourites that people look forward to every year, alongside some new themes that will bring something a little different to the season.
"With general admission tickets and a range of hospitality packages now on sale, racegoers can secure a great deal, as we've held our prices from the 2026 season.
"We're inviting racegoers to take the reins and make the 2027 season their own. We're looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the Roodee for another fantastic season."
