About Us

Chester Race Company Ltd is a dynamic, constantly evolving and growing organisation.  The company is responsible for two racecourses and all catering and conference facilities at Bangor on Dee and Chester, along with an on course hotel and restaurant at the Chester site.   The company also provide external catering services for third party events. 

Bangor on Dee is a left handed jumps racecourse set in the glorious countryside and overlooked by the Welsh hills.
 
Bangor has a unique character, amplified by the fact that it is the only Racecourse in the country that doesn’t have a grandstand!
 
The first steeplechase meeting took place at Bangor on 25th February 1859 over much the same course as that on which the races are held today.
 
Today, many of the top trainers send their horses  to race at Bangor as part of their education. Paul Nicholls, Donald McCain, Alan King, Phillip Hobbs, Nicky Henderson and Jonjo O’Neill all have regular runners.

Chester Race Company aims to become the leading sports/leisure and  corporate venue in the North West through perpetual innovation and succession planning. Chester Race Company’s intention is to reduce the impact on the environment through a program of continuous improvement in which we will assess the current environmental impacts  of the business, including new projects, and set specific base line targets for the future.
