More than two
hundred thousand people a year visit Chester Racecourse for "a day at the
races." There is something for everyone ‑from the family seeking a relaxing
Sunday picnic to the company entertaining guests in the lavish surroundings of
the Racecourse. The traditional racing highlights of the season are during the 3
day May meeting when the world of flat racing focuses on Chester.
Chester caters
for parties of all sizes on its twelve racing days between May and September,
from an intimate gathering of fourteen in a Private Box to a Paddock Marquee for
three hundred guests.
Parade Ring Marquee – May
Festival
Situated in a prime location
overlooking the Parade Ring, this stylishly decorated marquee can be divided
into 6 sections, or hired as a whole. Each section comfortably accommodates 40
guests for a sit down meal or 50 for a Buffet. Minimum number of guests is 32,
per section of the Marquee. Please note this facility is only available during
the May Festival.
Private Boxes
Although occupied by Annual
Boxholders at many of our meetings, Private Boxes are occasionally sub‑let for
the purpose of Raceday entertaining. Located on the second floor of the County
Stand and on both the first and second floors of the Leverhulme Stand, each Box
offers magnificent views of the Racecourse and each has a private balcony,
television, telephone and kitchen. Private viewing boxes cater for between
twelve and forty guests.
Paddock Rooms
These fabulous suites overlook the
Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure in the centre of the Paddock Area. Situated
adjacent to the Champagne Terrace in the centre of the action, they provide the
ultimate venue for corporate or private entertaining. Each room can accommodate
thirty two guests for a buffet or twenty four guests for a more formal sit‑down
meal. This facility has the benefit of a private patio area, cloakroom and Tote
Betting outlet. Minimum number of guests is twenty four per Paddock Room.
Festival Chalets
The Festival Chalets are for the
benefit of clients wishing to entertain at the May, July and August Meeting. In
May, a number of these Chalets will enjoy a prime track‑side location and in
July and August all Chalets will overlook the track, offering excellent viewing.
We are also offering trackside chalets at our June and September meetings. Each
Chalet will accommodate forty guests for a buffet or thirty guests for a more
formal sit‑down meal and will be decorated to the highest of standards. The
facility has its own private cloakroom and Tote Betting Service. Minimum number
of guests is twenty four per Chalet.
