Running from Tuesday 20 to Saturday 24 June, this year's Royal Ascot promises five days of unparalleled sport, high fashion, and pageantry.
The Royal Meeting is world renowned, offering unforgettable experiences in a unique setting for more than 300 years. Underpinned by a rich and deep-rooted heritage, it has not only survived the rigours of time, but has thrived.
An experience meant to be shared, Royal Ascot is the perfect occasion for socialising and making memories.
The Royal Meeting hosts a choice of four separate enclosures, each with its own ambiance and energy, and has plenty to offer in terms of dining; a three course á la carte luncheon, Champagne afternoon tea or Fine Dining in one of Ascot's restaurants, which in turn offer different cuisines, atmospheres, and views of the racecourse.
This year's chef line-up holds more Michelin stars than any other British sporting event, promising guests an exceptional gastronomic experience in an electric atmosphere that's like nowhere else.
