Chester! The Gourmet’s Guide for Racegoers This incredibly beautiful city is just 40 minutes from Manchester Airport and 45 minutes from Liverpool Airport, and it is home to the famous historic Chester Races. If you are travelling from Ireland to bet on the GeeGee’s, there are a few culinary spots you won’t want to miss. If you have an hour to two to spare, get a closer look at the city on a Taste of Chester walking tour. Learn about the many Tudor buildings on the high streets and find out more about the city’s ancient history. The tour is informative and offers a social food experience that not only stretches your legs but also shows you the many historic sites, landmarks, and independent food outlets the city has to offer. You might even learn more about the term Gee-Gee and how it is associated with racing. (It is thought to be traced back to Henry Gee who raised the first horse racing course in Chester in the 1500s.) www.walkingfoodtoursuk.co.uk Coffee, Snacks and Cakes! For
