Revellers at Chester Racecourse amped up the glamour as they brought out their best looks for the final day of the three-day meet today. 

Stylish guests showed off their fashion prowess as they stepped out for the final day of the annual Boodles May Festival, billed as the ‘pinnacle of Chester’s social calendar’. 

Racegoers pulled out all the stops sporting dazzling sequin dresses, lace gowns, elaborate fascinators and vibrant co-ords with statement sleeves as they stepped out on Chester Cup Day. 

Around 50,000 racegoers are expected to descend on this year’s three-day meeting after it was cancelled back in 2020 before returning in 2021 with a reduced number of spectators due to the Covid pandemic.

With Chester operating a far less strict dress code than other racing events, such as Royal Ascot, revellers took full advantage of the relaxed sartorial guidelines as they gathered for the annual race meeting. 

Some attendees donned thigh-grazing ensembles, while others commanded attention opting for cropped trouser suits or a see-through lace gown paired with a nude bodysuit. 

Each stand at Chester Racecourse adheres to a specific dress code policy. If you’re in the Chester Members and Private Hospitality area, there is a ‘strictly smart’ style guide, with ladies encouraged to don longer length skirts and dresses, chic trouser suits and statement hats. 

The Winning Post and County Long Room and Concourse enclosures suggest a ‘dress to impress’ mentality, recommending clutch bags, fascinators and mix-and-match colour schemes.

The Tattersalls enclosure urges guests to ‘make a statement’ with their outfits, listing jumpsuits and tailored shorts, maxi dresses and headbands and hair accessories as strong choices.

The opening day of the festival features Cheshire Oaks and Chester Vase races, with £100,000 prize money at stake for the latter.

Ladies Day yesterday featured the Dee Stakes and Ormonde Stakes, while the final day today will feature The Chester Cup, with the winnings set at £150,000.
