The final day of the festival sees the popular Lee Strand Best Dress Day taking place. Ten lucky ladies and gents will be selected by celebrity judges, each taking home a prize for their efforts in the fashion stakes.

Ladies and gents will battle it out in style for the chance to be crowned best dressed and take home the covetable prizes of a VIP trip for two to Paris and Milan.

The top tip for Lee Stand Ladies Day is to come racing early, the judges will be out an about from early doors to find this year’s best dressed ladies and gents! Gates open at 12 noon.
