Marketing executive at Echo Falls, Laurence Hinton, said: “On the back of the launch of our new Fruit Fusions range, we are delighted to be title sponsor for this year’s Ladies Day at Chester Racecourse.

“At Echo Falls, our ethos is to ‘take the moment’, embrace spontaneity and enjoy experiences in the company of good friends – what better pairing could there be than a day at the races in historic Chester?”
