The going was good and the sun shone for a great British sporting and social event celebrated in style at Nunsmere Hall Hotel in Northwich.

Cheshire ladies and their smartly-clad escorts attended the hotel’s version of ‘Royal Ascot ladies’ day. Guests enjoyed a delightful luncheon prepared by the award-winning kitchen team led by chef Craig Malone.

Then attention turned to the serious side of the day, with on-site betting facilities provided by the Chester Race Company. Guests enjoyed a champagne afternoon tea and a raffle was held to raise funds for Boot Out Breast Cancer and Kick Out Cancer charities.
