Ladies Day Royal Ascot

Along with The Derby and The Grand National, the Ascot Gold Cup or more particularly Royal Ascot holds a place dear to the UK public, be they horse racing fans or not.

Of course Royal Ascot is about more than just horse racing, it has long been the place to be seen for the rich and famous but more recently it has also become the place to be seen for us lesser mortals who get the chance to dress up and act like royalty for a day at the races.

There is always the chance that you will be in the same place as members of the Royal family albeit at some distance and the Royal heritage dates back to 1711 when Ascot Racecourse was opened by Queen Anne.

These days the Queen arrives each day of the race meeting in a horse drawn carriage to take her place in the Royal Enclosure. This area is only accessible to members and their guests and adheres to a strict dress code, something that has also been followed by the attending public who do not have access to the enclosure.

For the British press and television there is often more coverage given to what people are wearing than there is of the racing itself, making it a major event on the social calendar.

For this reason Ladies Day has become particularly significant as ‘ladies’ attempt to outdo one another with the most outlandish hats and headgear.

It is also on Ladies Day that the Ascot Gold Cup is run, with over £3 million in prize money on offer to the winners.

This year Royal Ascot takes place from Tuesday June 15th until Saturday 19th with ladies Day on Thursday 17th. As THE place to be seen in the UK in June, the cost of tickets for Royal Ascot is surprisingly reasonable, but remember to account for a special outfit for the occasion and the best opportunity ever to show off some snazzy expensive head-wear.
