One of Ascot’s greatest occasions, King George Weekend presents a sparkling midsummer cocktail of style, socialising and world-class racing. The racecourse is in full bloom and the atmosphere is electric with top-quality action on the track. Off the track, the racecourse is a whirlwind of colour and laughter as racegoers don summer occasionwear, catch up with friends and sample the many bars and eateries on offer under the summer sun.
Welcome to a world where sport and style collide. Where spectators don their finest summer attire, soak up the sensational atmosphere, and socialise against a backdrop of sumptuous scenery. All while marvelling at the majestic action on the racetrack.
Here, Europe’s finest middle-distance horses gather to showcase their extraordinary talents and compete for one prestigious prize. And no race sets hearts pounding with anticipation quite like the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Beyond the racing, guests revel in camaraderie while indulging in the finest food and basking in the midsummer sunshine.
Tickets from £24 on Friday and from £29 on Saturday.
