Royal Ascot 2010 Dates
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 – Saturday, June 19th, 2010
Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot is the premier British horse racing and social event of the summer season, and is not to be missed by visitors who want to experience a uniquely English tradition (and catch a glimpse of the queen, of course).
The world’s best horses and jockeys compete at Royal Ascot for high stakes. But horse racing isn’t the only thing Royal Ascot is famous for. In recent years Royal Ascot has become synonymous with fashion, particularly hats.
Women wear their most fashionable dresses and most elegant hats while models strut down the catwalk at Royal Ascot’s fashion show. In 2008, Royal Ascot introduced a model search for the Face of Ascot, so make sure to look your best as you get ready to place your bets.
Royal Ascot Details
Royal Ascot is located in Berkshire (near Windsor Castle), and is just under an hour by
train from London. Get your Royal Ascot
tickets early to make sure you have a chance to sip some Pimm’s and Lemonade and enjoy the races.
