What visitors say
It was a brilliant day out; the venue is truly beautiful and the atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were exceptionally professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing clear directions that made the entire visit feel very welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the facilities in the Windsor and Queen Anne enclosures. The grandstand is well-designed and comfortable, and the view of the racecourse from the box was excellent. While the food and drink options were plentiful—ranging from the delicious lunch and high tea to the various food trucks—I did notice that prices at certain bars were quite high, such as £14 for a glass of Pimm's. A few logistical observations for future planning: - Transport: Traffic near the venue was quite congested. While parking is available, it can be costly at £45. I found that booking private parking or using the train to Ascot station, which is a leisurely 10-minute walk away, are efficient alternatives. - Facilities: The security and crowd control were superb, ensuring the enclosures didn't feel overcrowded. However, given how much the experience relies on the weather, it might be beneficial to have more canopies installed to provide shade or shelter during sunny or rainy spells. It was a joy to witness the Royal procession and the racing energy, topped off by coming away with a few winners. I highly recommend the experience to anyone looking for a memorable day out.

Perfect day out! Went with the family and friends and had a great time. The place in impeccable and stunning! Great view no matter where and the stand is an iconic venue. The parking is free and second to none ..literally a small walk to the venue. A rare gem!

I’ve been here twice for Royal Ascot. The experience was lovely. Even for a big crowd, things are orderly and positive. As always, the venue is a proper racecourse that celebrates all the best of horse racing. I’ll be going back, for sure. Great food and drink options, jolly good high tea, and easy access to what you need.

A revisit to this racecourse for us and had a good day of racing listed. Sun shone brightly and it was a great excuse to dress up. Great facilities here although not all bars were open due to being early in the flat season. We chose the King Edward VII tickets so we could use the balcony and viewing area higher up in the stand. Would happily have Queen Anne tickets though for future meetings with slightly relaxed dress code. The course is grand and the staff friendliness and professionalism is impeccable. Would definately return in future.
