Held on the same day as Royal Ascot’s Ladies Day, this is the perfect opportunity to don an exquisite outfit and enjoy a quintessentially British day at the races.
This year Ladies Day will be headlined by Beverley Knight MBE, one of Britain’s most celebrated soul and R&B singers. Beverley will provide the soundtrack as the sun sets on the picturesque racecourse, while you dance long into the evening after a day of thrilling racing action.
Denise van Outen DJ set just added. Actress, singer, dancer, presenter, and DJ Denise van Outen will provide the soundtrack for celebrations with a live DJ set after racing.
New for this year, you will be able to upgrade your General Admission or General Admission with Grandstand Access tickets and enjoy an artisan hamper in the grounds. Our exceptionally popular packages for this year, have all been upgraded to include a selection of unlimited alcoholic beverages throughout racing. We are excited to unveil our newest hospitality area, The Lawn, where we will be serving sparkling afternoon tea. As always, we advise you to book hospitality tickets sooner rather than later, as these packages are expected to sell out.
Get ready to place your bets, immerse yourself in racing fun, enjoy a glass of Champagne or Pimm’s and round out the day with world-class entertainment. Further details and entertainment announcements to follow.
Please note that tickets need to be purchased in advance and will not be available at our ticket office on the day.
