Royal Ascot on Ladies' Day with Brunch
Day excursion - by Coach

Royal Ascot is a national institution and the premier sporting and social event in the summer calendar. Each year, during the third week in June, tradition, pageantry, fashion and style come together in a glorious confection at one of the most beautiful racecourses in the country right next to Windsor Great Park. The Royal Procession starts each day’s action at around 2pm, with racing during the rest of the afternoon until the last race at around 5.30pm. The quality of the horseracing is simply outstanding with a total of nearly £4.5 million in prize money on offer over the five days and eighteen Group races, including at least one Group One (most prestigious) event each day.

Come with us on Gold Cup Day (colloquially known as Ladies’ Day) and see top class thoroughbreds and world-famous jockeys competing in six races including the legendary Gold Cup, a battle of stamina and determination over two miles and four furlongs and one of the most sought after prizes in flat racing. You will also experience Royal Ascot’s unique focus on fashion and fun, and although the whole week of Royal Ascot is a fashion show like no other, it is Thursday when the designer creations and millinery masterpieces reach their zenith and the elegance of the ladies’ outfits is matched only by the flair of their hats!

Your included ticket is for the Silver Ring** enclosure and here you will find lots of bars, food outlets with value-for-money cuisine, big screen TVs, live musical entertainment, seating, lawned areas – and lots of places to lay your bets!
