Royal Ascot dates, tickets, TV details plus tips for each day’s feature race

There is no other race meeting in the calendar which resonates more around the world than Royal Ascot.

It’s not only a major destination in the racing year, it’s a not-to-be-missed event in the social calendar. Over five days of top class horse racing, champions will be crowned in front of the King Charles and Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family and their guests.




Off the track the occasion is a colourful blend of high fashion, pageantry and style which attracts many famous faces and celebrities.

Racing has taken place at the Berkshire track since 1711 with the fixture which became known as Royal Ascot evolving into a four-day event, now five, from 1768.

When is Royal Ascot?

Royal Ascot will take place over five consecutive days from Tuesday, June 18 to Saturday, June 22.

There will be seven races each day with the first race at 2.30pm and the last at 6.15.

The Royal procession traditionally arrives at 2pm when the King and Queen travel by horse- drawn carriage from Windsor Castle through the Ascot gates and up the racecourse to the enclosures.
