The Royal Ascot is back, and its calling your name

If you are not familiar with the event it’s all about fast horses and fancy hats at Royal Ascot, and as the world's most famous race meeting, and the most glamorous event in London's sporting calendar. It’s no wonder it attracts thousands every year.





As the Royal Ascot is Britain's most popular race meeting, it's the place to see and be seen for high society, royal watchers, fun seekers and horse racing enthusiasts alike! Steeped in tradition, heritage and pageantry, Royal Ascot is over 300 years old and is attended by the Royal Family, including Her Majesty the Queen. The Queen has enjoyed considerable success at Royal Ascot, having owned many winners including Free Agent, who won the Chesham Stakes in 2008.


Although the eye-catching fashion steals the show at Royal Ascot, this colourful occasion also features top-quality horse racing. Racing highlights of Royal Ascot include the Golden Jubilee Stakes, the Gold Cup and the Chesham Stakes. Prize money for the week totals millions of pounds!
