Royal Ascot Ladies Day Tickets/hospitality
Ladies Day at the Royal Ascot is the heart and soul of
Englands biggest flat racing meeting. The day is a
celebration of the aristocratic origins of the race,
and has developed into an important fashion and social
event in its own right.
The Ascot Gold Cup
Ladies Day is organised around the running of the Ascot
Gold Cup, the oldest Group One race at the Royal meeting,
and the biggest English flat race outside of the Classics.
The race attracts widespread media attention and gives
Ladies Day an authentic foundation of top quality thoroughbred
racing.
Dress Code
Fashion is an important part of Ladies Day, with many race
goers attending the third day of the Royal meeting in formal
dress. Men are encouraged to wear morning dress with top hats,
whilst women are expected to dress conservatively in dress
suits or summer dresses.
The conservative dress code is counterbalanced by the massive
array of ladies hats to be found at the meeting. Hats range
from the spectacular to the bizarre, with many female race goers
attempting to outdo each other in what is sometimes described as
the Oscar of hats.
History
The origins of Ladies Day at the Royal Meeting are inseparable
from the history of the racecourse. During the 1700s race meetings
tended to attract aristocrats and nobility from all around England,
and were important social occasions.
The third day of the Royal Meeting has long been the festivals most
popular. It is believed that the opulent display of wealth paraded by
the nobles attending the Royal Meeting, tended to attract female race
goers who would journey to Ascot to catch up on the latest fashions.
Beau Brummel is credited with the modern incarnation of Ladies Day
at the Royal Ascot meeting. It was Brummel who suggested to his friend
the Prince Regent, that only spectators in formal wear should be permitted
to attend the third day of the Royal Ascot meeting.
The Royal Procession
One of the oldest traditions at the Royal Ascot meeting is the Royal
procession on Ladies Day. Before the start of the third day of racing the
Royal family are put on display in a horse drawn carriage, as they travel
down the one mile course adjacent to the grandstand.
