What Makes Royal Ascot Special
A Tradition Dating Back to 1711
Founded by Queen Anne over 300 years ago, Royal Ascot has grown into one of the most prestigious horse racing events in the world. The racecourse sits beside Windsor Great Park, and the meeting continues to attract the finest thoroughbreds competing for millions in prize money across five days of world-class flat racing.
Ladies Day and the Royal Ascot Dress Code
Thursday is traditionally known as Ladies Day, showcasing spectacular fashion and millinery alongside top-class racing. All enclosures have dress codes, with the Royal Enclosure requiring formal morning dress and hats. Arriving by chauffeur perfectly complements the elegance expected at this iconic British event.
The Royal Procession
Each day begins with the famous Royal Procession, where members of the Royal Family arrive by horse-drawn carriage from Windsor Castle. This spectacular tradition is one of the most photographed moments of the British social season and sets the stage for an extraordinary afternoon of racing.
