Ladies Day

For years, Ladies Day at Chelmsford has been a highlight of the racing calendar, but this year we’re changing the script. We’re transforming our classic concert raceday into a vibrant celebration of style, fashion and fun, a festival celebrating the modern, showstopping woman. Racing remains at it’s heart but now with lots more exciting experiences to share and enjoy.

Ladies Day is your day to be seen, to be inspired, and to celebrate with your favourite people.

Ladies Day Experience

Imagine arriving, styled and glamorous, to discover that the racecourse grounds have been transformed into immersive villages for you and your friends to explore at your leisure.

As you enjoy the thrill of racing, you can effortlessly drift from the Fashion Village, which features the latest trends and high-end brands, to the Wellness Village, a beautiful, tranquil escape where you can take a moment for yourself. At the Showstopping Stage, inspirational stories are shared, and fashion demonstrations take place in a setting perfect for capturing the photos that will adorn your social media channels.

Later, grab a cocktail and head to The Lawn, filled with friendly summer games and experiences that promise endless fun and laughter. When the sun begins to set, join everyone at the Music Stage, where our Ladies Day host’s DJ set guarantees an unforgettable high to end your day.
