It’s the Roar. It’s the Drama. It’s the Feeling.

Immerse yourself in the Magic of May. Three unmissable and exhilarating days of racing at the Boodles May Festival. This is Chester Racecourse’s most prestigious three-day race meeting, taking place at the beginning of May each year and launching the remainder of the years racing season.

The Boodles May Festival consist of three consecutive race meetings – Trials Day, Ladies Day and Chester Cup Day. Each meeting has its own unique character and personality. Ladies Day is of course an iconic fixture, used by racegoers to showcase the latest styles and trends in impactful outfits designed to wow. Trials Day and Chester Cup Day however, are fan favourites amongst the hardcore racing enthusiasts, as the annual Chester Vase race is used as a trial for the Epsom Derby and the Chester Cup race weeds out the greatest of jockeys and racehorses destined for success.
