Chester is home to the oldest racecourse in the country. The Roodee, as it’s known, still hosts many race meetings and polo tournaments through the year and is a fantastic day out for all the family. Dating back to the early sixteenth century, this prestigious racecourse offers a choice of five enclosures to enjoy across the racing calendar which takes place between May and September every year. There are also catering and conferencing facilities on site all year round.
Need something new to wear for the glamour of the races? Chester is home to a range of shops and has been since it was established as a bustling market town in the Middle Ages. Although the shops have changed over time the streets themselves have not and shopping is a great way to indulge in history by walking along the cobbled streets and visiting The Rows, a famous two-tiered shopping quarter which is the oldest shopping façade in England.
There is a plethora of culture at the heart of Chester including theatres, cathedrals, greenspaces and scenic walking routes for you to enjoy. Once seating up to 7000 spectators, Chester’s Roman Amphitheatre is the largest of its type in the country. It has even been suggested that this archaeological site is the original location of King Arthur’s Camelot and Knights of the Round Table. Performances still take place here during the summer.
Considered the most famous landmark in Chester, the Eastgate Clock is a Roman turret clock built above Chester’s own ancient walls. The present gate it rests on was built in 1768 to allow coaches to pass through. It was erected in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and is now a Grade I listed structure. As the most photographed clock face in the country after London’s Big Ben, join the millions of tourists around the world who have their picture taken with it.
