Smart, glamorous attire
"They're under starter's order... And they're off!" A day at the races is an absolutely golden Chester hen party activity - not only can you get all dressed up for a day with the girls, but you will experience a winnings claiming, ticket shredding afternoon of fun, laughter and total adrenaline.
Even better news is that Chester Racecourse is one of the best in the country. With an ideal central location, it is also the oldest surviving course in England, as well as the smallest - only 1 mile/furlong long - making it easy for you hens to see everything from the grandstand. You really do feel the earth move, standing on the rail as the horses thunder past in a thrilling rush of competitive energy.
Once you have picked up your tickets and made your way inside the ground, you have a range of food and drink options to choose from, as well as the chance to lay a cheeky bet should you choose. Maybe you've studied the form of betting and are dab hands at clocking the winning horse, or maybe you pick the one with the coolest name. No matter your style, popping a bet or two into the party equation adds that essential competitive element to every hen-weekender.
We know you'll be buzzing to get dressed up later for your big hen night out in Chester, but the races are no "jeans and a nice top" fiasco. Take the opportunity to don a fancy fascinator and your favourite dress to match. This is the perfect chance to dress to impress and grab a great photo of the girls looking their best before the wedding.
Your enclosure has unreserved standing space, so you can move around as you please. You can also head to the winner's circle to see your winning horse up-close and thank him for the new shoes his victory has just won you.
It's just a small deposit
to secure.
Fantastic idea. Nice and relaxed, so people could do as they wished. Good value for money.
