The partnership brings together two historic institutions with deep roots in the region. Founded in Wrexham in 1826, Allington Hughes Law is celebrating its 200-year anniversary in 2026, marking two centuries of providing trusted legal advice to individuals, businesses and organisations across North Wales and Cheshire. With offices in Wrexham, Chester and Llanrwst, the firm’s strong local presence and community focus align closely with Chester Racecourse’s values and heritage.
The Allington Hughes Law Friday Social fixture has become a popular date in the Chester Racecourse calendar, combining competitive racing with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that appeals to racing fans, the after work crowd and those looking for a memorable day out. The title sponsorship forms part of Allington Hughes Law’s bicentenary celebrations and will see the firm mark the milestone alongside colleagues and guests at one of the UK’s most iconic sporting venues.
Stephen Foote, Managing Director at Allington Hughes Law, said:
“We are delighted to be title sponsors of the Friday Social meeting on 12th June. Being in business for 200 years is no small feat and we wanted to celebrate in style. We could not think of a more prestigious venue to do so and are excited to be able to treat our loyal and dedicated staff to a day at the races as part of our bicentenary celebrations. It gives us the opportunity to celebrate where we have come from, where we are now and where we are going.”
Kate Dawson, Commercial Director at Chester Racecourse, added:
“We’re proud to welcome Allington Hughes Law as the title sponsor of The Allington Hughes Law Friday Social fixture. Celebrating 200 years in business is an extraordinary achievement, and it’s fitting that they’ve chosen to mark this milestone at Chester Racecourse alongside colleagues and guests. Their deep roots in the region and long-standing commitment to their people and communities make this partnership a natural fit, and we’re proud to be part of their bicentenary celebrations.”
The Allington Hughes Friday Social on 12 June will feature an afternoon of racing at Chester Racecourse, alongside a lively social atmosphere, food and drink offerings, and entertainment that makes it an ideal way to start the weekend. Tickets are available to book now at www.chester-races.com.
