Ascot Racecourse – Horse Racing Events

Ascot Racecourse is a leading horse racing venue located in Ascot, Berkshire. Conveniently situated in the gorgeous wooded countryside near the Royal beauty that is Windsor Great Park.

This prestigious course retains a major name in the sporting world due to its close ties with the Royal Family. The beautiful racecourse features well-groomed lawns and terraces, balconies with superb views, tasteful tea rooms and fine dining restaurants.

The racecourse is the second-largest in England, and with more than 600,000 racegoers attending every year, equivalent to 10% of the UK total — it’s no wonder why it is commonly referred to as the epicentre of British horse racing.

The prized horse racing location boasts a large thirteen of Britain’s thirty six annual Group One horse races – the highest level of thoroughbred and standard-bred flat races. The racecourse currently stages twenty six days of racing throughout the year, including eighteen flat meetings held between the months of May and October. Additionally, it also hosts significant jump racing fixtures during the jump season.

In addition to horse racing, Ascot Racecourse is also home to numerous other events such as the Luna Cinema, a Beer Festival and a spectacular fireworks display in November.

Furthermore, Ascot Racecourse holds the Royal Ascot Cricket Club, which was founded in 1883. The club’s ground is situated in the middle of the racecourse.

Ascot United F.C., founded in 1965, is likewise based in the racecourse and is located towards the eastern side of the site. The club plays their home games there with a capacity of 1,150.

Ascot Racecourse proudly supports over 250 local charities, community groups and businesses by making monetary contributions or by supplying complimentary tickets for use as raffle and auction prizes.

The racecourse launched the Colts & Fillies Club in 2002 in order to make horse racing more accessible and popular with younger audiences. Currently, the club has over 18,500 members and is free to join.

Events including bulb painting are run to involve local schools in various activities. The charity Racing To School is one that supports young people’s learning and development with the aim of encouraging an interest in horse racing.
