There is no event in the British social calendar quite as revered as Royal Ascot. After all, it’s reserved for the best; the best in racing, the best in hospitality – and, of course, the best in style. This is racing at its most exquisite. Nothing more, nothing less.

From 17-21 June, thrill seekers and racegoers will come together to indulge in a week of celebration and festivities. Whether it’s the sport, the fashion or the food that captures your imagination, there really is nothing quite like enjoying a summer’s day at Royal Ascot.

Steeped in history, the event has held its place as the Crown Jewel of the British summer season for centuries. Featuring eight Group One races and 19 Group races in total, the five-day spectacular draws a crowd of 275,000 racegoers and ignites the passions of viewers in some 175 countries around the world. With seven flat races a day taking place on this famous course, Royal Ascot is where the finest horses, most esteemed trainers and champion jockeys come to compete for their place in history.

The fashion on display at Royal Ascot is a spectacle of its own. Guests come to see and be seen – the elegant artistry showcased across the week sets the sartorial trends for the summer. Extravagant headpieces, bold patterns and bright colours give ‘dress to impress’ an entirely new meaning, as you’re invited to take centre stage in this spectacular celebration of style.

Fine dining at Royal Ascot remains a defining feature of the event, offering a culinary experience that reflects the excitement of this world-renowned sporting event. This year’s collection of ‘Chefs in Residence’ will feature a remarkable lineup of esteemed chefs, whose restaurants collectively hold an unprecedented 29 Michelin stars – the most ever for Royal Ascot or any sporting event worldwide.
