Exhibitions & Outdoor Events

Chester Racecourse boasts the city’s most adaptable multi-purpose venue, with first class exhibition facilities with the space and flexibility to host trade fairs, expos and large scale events. The racecourse has been home to a number of events in recent years including food festivals and vendor markets.

Exhibition Spaces 

Chester Racecourse is within walking distance from the historic City centre, and connected to Cheshire and the North West by the M53 and M56, and London by mainline rail. That connectivity is coupled with the flexibility of 35 separate facilities, on-site accommodation, a huge green space and parking for 600 cars.

Our Pavillion Suite is Cheshire’s largest exhibition venue. Created specifically for large scale events, it overlooks the parade ring and champagne bar, bringing a taste of racing glamour to any event. We also have our own pub and contemporary restaurant on site, giving your delegates plenty of entertainment options.

Exhibition space at Chester Racecourse benefits from the experience of our award-winning catering team, Horseradish. Renowned for fresh, local and seasonal produce, the team will put together a variety of catering options for you to choose from – or can create a bespoke menu to suit your plans.

Outdoor Event Spaces 

Chester Racecourse offers you the space and scale to do something different! With green space, plus flexible grandstands and suites, it’s ideal for roadshows, fundraisers and large scale outdoor events. From concerts, festivals and fairs to high octane driving days and car rallies, you won’t be short of space – it’s up to you to decide what you want to do with it.

Chester Racecourse is unparalleled as a team building venue – charter a helicopter or hot air balloon, or use the racetrack itself. We have long-standing relationships with team building experts who’ve run events at the racecourse many times, who can let you know what works, what’s possible and what fulfils your needs.
