Ascot Racecourse underwent a major eighteen month, redevelopment programme from September 2004 until June 2006. The programme was the most extensive project of its type ever seen in Europe, and the final result is a magnificent new grandstand and track that represents one of the most impressive sports stadium structures in the world.

The focal point of the redevelopment is undoubtedly the new Grandstand itself. The distinctive design is defined by the spectacular parasol roof suspended on ‘structural trees’. The stand is flooded with natural light, using glass and aluminium materials, bringing the outside in as you walk through the impressive galleria. The WOW factor of the new grandstand cannot be understated, this truly is a venue that you must visit.

Running parallel with the innovative design of the new grandstand are the values that Ascot Racecourse’s reputation has been built upon; history, heritage, tradition and pageantry. As the racecourse nears its 300 year anniversary it is apparent how easily the old and the new sit side by side at the world’s most famous racecourse.

Ascot Racecourse looks forward to welcoming you to enjoy a day out in 2008.
