Family Day is ready to help your family make memories which last a lifetime

Family Day has been taking place at the world’s oldest racecourse since 1995. In that time, it’s become a staple summer event for the local community, stretching across the North West and even into North Wales. Known for its incredible value, the Family Day has become an annual tradition for local families.

Each year the Open Course is transformed into a wonderland for children and families. Activities which are completely free to everyone who has a ticket, promise an entire day full of non-stop fun and entertainment. In the past we’ve had huge inflatable castles and slides, ginormous sand pits and even a retro roller rink!

This years activities are still to be confirmed but keep an eye on this page and our social media channels for updates. In the meantime, book you and your family in for this unmissable event now to ensure you get the lowest possible price.

This year we’re rewarding customers that book early with the best ticket prices. This means the quicker you book, the better price you’ll get!

For group bookings, please call the box office on 01244 304610 or email enquiries@chester-races.com.

Please note that all tickets will be subject to a £1.25 per ticket administration fee.
