Thursday 5th May 2022 – Day 2 of Chester’s May Festival saw the return of Ladies Day at The Roodee.
One of the most popular fixtures in Chester’s racing calendar, Ladies Day attracted a top class line-up to please the well-dressed racegoers. After rain the day before, the sun was firmly out!

FASHION & PEOPLE
Fashionistas were out in force, strutting their stuff in the Best Dressed Competitions and enjoying their day out in the sun. Designer labels, fake tans and plenty of bling were on show as usual, and the gents were not shy of sporting some colour too!
Karen can usually be found glued to her computer or at the stables. Having edited several national magazines she co-founded Eclipse Magazine in 2008 after realising that many of her friends were nervous about going racing due to lack of information – what to wear, how to bet etc.
She absolutely loves her job (how many people can say that?!) and is truly grateful to all supporters of and contributors to Eclipse Magazine.
If you are reading this she would like to say THANK YOU! (And please spread the word about Eclipse…!!)
