Chester Racecourse Responds After Jilted Bride Says She Was Mocked for Wearing Wedding Dress on Hen Do

The venue says it is liaising with 42-year-old Claire Bell following her TikTok account of abuse during a search for disabled facilities.

Overview

  • The August 30 episode occurred during Ladies’ Day at Chester as Bell attended her planned hen party in the Randy Fenoli Effie Blue gown she bought for £900.
  • Bell says racegoers hurled insults such as “mutton dressed as lamb” and “pathetic,” leaving her in tears.
  • She recounts a young man pointing in her face and saying “you look stupid” while she was trying to locate disabled toilets.
  • Bell, who is neurodivergent and requires seating because of a disability, says the experience has left her off work due to distress.
  • Chester Racecourse says it is disappointed and is liaising with her to establish the circumstances after her TikTok post drew a wave of support.
