Chester Racecourse's most stylish fixture has arrived. Powells Jewellery Ladies Day, held today (August 22) at Chester Racecourse, is one of the most anticipated events in the social calendar, combining style, elegance, and racing. JLS member Marvin Humes is set to perform as this year's headline act.
Best Dressed Competition Returns
The Best Dressed Competition will return, celebrating the most fashionable race day styles. The first-place winner will receive a prize package featuring a Powells Jewellery Two Row Diamond Bracelet set in white gold worth over £6,500, alongside a seven-night stay for two in a Deluxe Sea View Room at Daios Cove on a half-board basis.
As the annual style partner, Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet is offering a £500 voucher. The winner will also take home a £500 beauty voucher courtesy of Pink Ladies, a subscription and flowers from The Cheshire Magazine, two Clubhouse tickets for Boodles May Festival Trials Day 2027, and a bottle of Chester Racecourse Champagne. The winner will also be crowned the face of Chester Races Ladies Day for the next 12 months, with their outfit featured on future racecards, social media, and various promotional assets. There are also prizes for second and third place.
Judges and Racecourse CEO Comment
The panel of judges includes Carly Powell of Powells Jewellery and Lyndsay Berry from Daios Cove, who will select winners from hundreds of stylish entrants on the day.
Louise Stewart, CEO at Chester Race Company, said: "Ladies Day is one of those fixtures where guests really embrace the sense of occasion. The racing is always important, but the style, vibrancy and atmosphere around the course are a huge part of what makes it special."
"The Best Dressed competition is a lovely way to celebrate that, and this year’s prizes are genuinely exceptional. We’re grateful to Powells Jewellery and all our partners involved, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how guests express their creativity and put their own stamp on the day."
