Introduction

The Royal Meeting’s spectacular heritage, unlike any other, has made the event anticipated and revered the world over. From the arrival of the Royal Procession at 2pm sharp to the communal singing around the Bandstand, with six top-class races between, each of the five days is unforgettable. A choice of four enclosures each with an individual character or numerous hospitality packages allow you to curate your own truly special occasion.

Royal Ascot is Britain’s most valuable race meeting, attracting many of the world’s finest racehorses to compete for millions of pounds in prize money (£7.3m in 2018). Our eighteen Group races, eight of them Group One, have made household names of Royal Ascot winners like Black Caviar, Frankel and Yeats. Each year the meeting is broadcast to audiences around the globe, yet to experience it in person is something altogether more special.

Royal Procession 2pm

At 2pm sharp of each day The Royal Landaus, led by four Windsor Greys, approach along the famous Straight Mile. It’s a short but spectacular journey that since 1825 has signalled the start of the Royal Meeting.

Last Race 5.35pm

The final of six top quality flat races gets underway at 5.35pm.

Singing Around the Bandstand 6pm

An unforgettable, uplifting crescendo to the day. Racegoers gather as a joyous choir led by the Royal Welsh Guards run through a songbook of well-loved hits, past and present.

The day closes 8pm/9pm

An unforgettable day at a place Like Nowhere Else draws to a close at 8pm in the Royal, Queen Anne and Windsor Enclosures, while on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the party in the Village Enclosure continues until 9pm.

Group Tickets

Royal Ascot is as much about the social occasion as it is the racing and with a rhythm of the day that allows plenty of time to catch up with friends, grab a bite to eat or share a glass of Champagne between racing. Why not make Royal Ascot the place for your Group of friends, family or colleagues this summer.

Group tickets are available for parties of 15+.
