The Royal Ascot dress code varies across different enclosures, with the Royal Enclosure asking guests to stick to top hats and tails for the men.

Women must wear a dress or skirt falling just above the knee or longer, with shoulder straps a minimum width of 1 inch and hats are compulsory.

The Queen Anne Enclosure offers a more relaxed dress code, while the Windsor Enclosure is the most relaxed, with no formal dress code but smart attire is encouraged.

Royal Ascot was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne who, when riding out from Windsor Castle, came across a piece of land “ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch” and thus Ascot Racecourse was born.

Lady Victoria Hervey also opted for a floral dress at the racecourse

Первое Королевское собрание состоялось в Аскоте в 1768 году, и сейчас это самое популярное скаковое мероприятие в Великобритании, которое за пять дней посещают более 250 000 зрителей. Каждое утро ворота открываются в 10:30, и все готовятся к долгожданной первой гонке, которая начинается в 14:30.

Затем в течение дня проходит семь скачек, последняя из которых начинается в 18:10. И, конечно же, каждый день в 14:00 проходит королевская процессия.

По прогнозам, за пять дней 350 шеф-поваров приготовят 220 000 пирожных для послеобеденного чая, 7300 стейков из говядины и 3000 кг лосося.

Кроме того, на Королевском собрании будет подано 220 000 мини-сэндвичей и 10 000 корзинок с ягодами.

В Queen Anne Enclosure гости смогут отведать аппетитные стейки в ресторане 1768 Grill, принадлежащем аргентинской сети Gaucho.

Что касается напитков, то, по прогнозам, будет выпито 65 000 бутылок шампанского и 100 000 бутылок вина.
