No Racecourse in the world has a more historic setting than Chester's Roodee. It was here that the Roman Legions arrived to build their fortress Deva. In the days of Roman occupation, the River Dee washed up to the walls where today, thousands stand to cheer on the Winner of the Chester Cup.

The first official records of horse racing at Chester date back to the early Sixteenth Century, making it the country's oldest Racecourse. With almost five hundred years of history behind us, no other Racecourse is as well positioned to offer all the excitement and entertainment associated with "A Day at the Races".
