Directions

On racedays, there will be race closures in place. To reach the racecourse, please approach from the west via Sealand Road (A548).

The racecourse stables are conveniently located in Saddlery Way, off New Crane Street/A458. Just follow the yellow ‘All Race Traffic’ diversion signs. As you get closer to the racecourse, look out for the Horsebox signs.

Stables and Holiday Inn Accommodation

Overnight stabling and accommodation must be pre-booked by emailing stables@chester-races.com. Please complete and attach the overnight stabling form: Booking Form

Limited accommodation is available and will be allocated at follows: 1 horse = 1 member of stable staff and 1 senior member of staff, 2 or more horses = 1 member of stable staff per horse and 1 senior member of staff. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate staff under the age of 18 years.

These are single occupancy rooms in the Holiday Inn Express Chester Racecourse, including breakfast. Breakfast is available from 6.30am to 10am.

To enable the Holiday Inn to turn around rooms, we would be grateful if you could please check out by 10.00am.

Evening Meal

We provide complimentary evening meal vouchers, which can be redeemed for an evening meal at a local restaurant in the City. Further information will be on your Stable Staff letter which you will be given on arrival.

Racing

For those wishing to canter in the morning, please liaise with the Stable Manager, Geoff Dutton.

Cantering is from 7.15am.

There are complimentary meal and drink vouchers for use in the Old Port Bistro (stable canteen).

For every race outside Boodles’ May Festival, there is a Best Turned Out prize of £50.

The 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd horse will be led back into the Winners Enclosure. All other horses are to unsaddle on the course and to return to the wash down area located adjacent to the 7½f chute, where there is a team to assist with washing down/cooling post-race.

Chester Recommendations

The racecourse is just a 5 minute walk to City Centre – head straight up the hill from the Holiday Inn Express.

Chester really comes alive during racing – so there will be plenty of people about and a great atmosphere in the city.

There are plenty of places to eat and drink, from quirky bars on Watergate Street to restaurants in the rows on Bridge Street. We recommend Commonhall St. Social as a great place for an evening drink on their outdoor terrace! If you don’t fancy the City Centre, there are also various places down at the riverside.
