About Royal Ascot 2027

Five days of top-class flat racing bring together the sport's finest horses, jockeys and trainers for a calendar highlight steeped in royal tradition. Between races, the crowd's attention turns as much to the fashion on show as to the form on the card.

Where to stay nearby

Windsor sits right by the racecourse, so staying there means you can walk to the gates and avoid the traffic that builds up around the event. Slough, a few kilometres out, offers a wider spread of hotel options with a short drive or taxi ride into Windsor. London is a practical alternative too — mainline trains run regularly into Windsor, making a day trip from the capital straightforward even though it sits well outside the town itself. Whichever base you choose, book early, as accommodation fills quickly during Royal Ascot week.

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.
