Chester Races

Here's what male racegoers can and can't wear for race meetings at the Roodee throughout the year.

County Stand:

This is where the dress code for men is extremely strict. You're required to wear a wear a suit jacket, collar and tie. If you don't, you won't be allowed in. There's also a ban on denim and sportswear.

Tattersalls:

We're into the slightly vague world of 'smart casual' wear here. Smart jeans and buttoned shirts for gents are allowed, but you can dress up more if you like and wear a suit and tie. If you turn up wearing shorts or sports wear, including trainers, you won't be allowed in.

Dee Stand and Open Course:

If you're looking to wear more 'relaxed' attire, this is the place for you. There's no strict dress code here but if you're planning on watching from the open course, remember to dress for the elements as there's a lack of cover. You can upgrade to Tatts from here, but not if you're in shorts, sportswear or trainers.
