The Dee Festival celebrates the prominent position of both Chester and Bangor-on-Dee Racecourses in the North-West.
With both tracks situated on the picturesque banks of the River Dee, the Dee Festival allows you to experience the thrill of the city and the charm of the country in a full weekend of racing. Purchasing a Dee Festival Badge enables access to Chester’s County Concourse Stand on the 9th September and Bangor-on-Dee’s Paddock Enclosure on Friday 8th September at a discounted rate.
