CHESTER Racecourse is set to host an immersive weekend of music and racing as part of its Summer Music Weekend, featuring Ibiza classics and a special DJ set from Craig Charles.

Prepare to pack your dancing shoes for two unforgettable evenings on the Roodee, as race days dedicated to Ibiza Classics and the very best in Funk and Soul take place on Friday, July 12 and Saturday, July 13. 

Ibiza in Symphony will start the party on Friday night, as the captivating 10-piece orchestra bring their electrifying live show to the racecourse. Performing an array of iconic dance anthems at an Ibiza Classics Evening, the ensemble will have you singing, dancing and reminiscing to so many tracks you know and love after racing.

If that wasn’t enough, the volume will be turned up again on Saturday, when Craig Charles takes to the decks for Soul Sunset Racing, playing out smooth grooves and funky beats with an energetic, feel-good DJ set. The respected actor and broadcaster, host of the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6 Music, will be remixing a golden age of music for 21st century grooving.
