The Jumps Season Starts with a Bang.


The National Hunt season promises to get off to a memorable start and visitors can enjoy one of the region’s largest firework spectaculars. A safe environment for families and there is free entry for under-18s when accompanied by an adult. Between racing and the fireworks display, racegoers of all ages can also enjoy a showing of this year's hit singalong film The Greatest Showman in the Ascot Pavilion.

The £100,000 Sodexo Gold Cup Chase over three miles is the feature race of seven and there is plenty of fun to be had off the track with fairground rides and an epic fireworks display after racing.


White-knuckle fairground rides and adrenaline attractions will be on offer throughout the day, with gentler rides such as Mini Jets, Dodgems and clip clip pony rides for the under-10s. Rides are free of charge until 4 pm and cost £1 thereafter - with proceed donated to local charities.


Please note: Last entry for Racing & Fireworks ticket holders is 4pm. Fireworks only ticket holders can enter the racecourse after 4pm.


Fireworks only tickets are available to purchase and allow access to the Queen Anne Enclosure. 


Please note: Tickets for the Queen Anne Enclosure are available to purchase on the gate for this raceday, priced at £29 for adults, and free for under 18s.
