Introduction

Prices start from £20

Saturday 5th October 2019

The penultimate day of our Flat racing season offers a high quality racecard and a choice of almost 200 different real ales, ciders and perries as the concourse is transformed to create one of the most comprehensive beer festivals in the UK, in association with the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Added oompah to your day comes from bratwurst, litre beer steins, lederhosen and traditional German music in the Ascot Bier Haus.

The feature action on the track comes in the shape of the richest seven furlong handicap in the UK, The Challenge Cup. The £180,000 contest is supported by six more highly competitive Flat races on the card. This is excitement on tap. You can also enjoy a curry in the Bandstand Bar and Restaurant.

Please note: Dress code remains the same as other racedays, but Lederhosen and Drndl's are permitted in the Queen Anne Enclosure.

Gates open at 11am.
