About Royal Ascot 2027

Royal Ascot is the jewel of the British flat season — five days of top-class racing, high fashion and royal pageantry in Berkshire, running 15–19 June 2027. Morning-suited crowds, extravagant hats and the daily royal carriage procession make it as much a social occasion as a sporting one, and it's one of the highlights of the English summer.

Ascot sits close to Windsor, and rooms across the area fill fast for the meeting. Stay in nearby Windsor — with its castle, riverside and easy trains to the course — or in west London, and you can dress up for a day at the races then explore the Thames Valley or the capital.

History

Royal Ascot began in 1711, when Queen Anne, riding out from Windsor Castle, found a stretch of open heath she judged 'ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch' and had a course laid out on it. The first meeting ran that August for a prize of 100 guineas. The royal procession that now opens each day's racing — carriages carrying the monarch and guests along the straight mile to the Royal Enclosure — came later, introduced by King George IV in 1825, and has been repeated every day of the meeting since.

Three centuries on, the course still carries its royal founder's mark: strict dress codes, the Royal Enclosure and the daily carriage arrival all trace back to the same idea, that racing here should be a social occasion as much as a sporting one.
