Ladies Day 2026
Saturday 29 August 2026
The most anticipated social event of the season is being reimagined, and made better than ever.
For years, Ladies Day at Chelmsford has been a highlight of the racing calendar, but this year we’re changing the script. We’re transforming our classic concert raceday into a vibrant celebration of style, fashion and fun, a festival celebrating the modern, showstopping woman. Racing remains at it’s heart but now with lots more exciting experiences to share and enjoy.
Ladies Day is your day to be seen, to be inspired, and to celebrate with your favourite people.
