The
centrepiece of Ascot’s year, Royal Ascot is one of
the world’s most famous race meetings, steeped in
history dating back to 1711. The royal family attend the
meeting, arriving each day in a horse drawn carriage. It
is a major event in the British social calendar, and press
coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often
exceeds coverage of the actual racing. Attendees must wear
a morning suit in the royal enclosure, and most people outside
of this section choose to wear one anyway. To be admitted
to the royal enclosure for the first time, one must be sponsored
by someone who has attended at least four times.
Over 300,000 people make the annual visit to Berkshire during Royal Ascot week, making this Europe’s best-attended race meeting. Many of the visitors know nothing about racing, and are there purely for the social side and to drink large quantities of champagne. This leads to a split among racing fans, some of whom are glad to see racing in the spotlight, and getting more attention, while others do not like the meeting despite the quality of racing.
There are 16 Group races on offer, with at least one Group One event on each of the five days. The Ascot Gold Cup is on Ladies' Day on the Thursday. There is over £3,000,000 of prize money on offer.
Royal Ascot is a great day out for corporate or private events.
