This summer, the longest running drama returns with five days of time-honoured tradition and unparalleled racing, with highlights including the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, the Queen Anne Stakes and the Gold Cup.
The event is also revered for its exquisite fashion, magnificent millinery creations and the finest hospitality. With a host of sublime dining options ranging from à la carte menus by Michelin-starred chefs, to gourmet picnics, Champagne afternoon teas and fine dining in one of the many restaurants, Royal Ascot presents a spellbinding explosion of the senses.
This year, it’s set to be even more spectacular as Ascot Racecourse celebrates Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
