Ascot was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne.

Set in the heart of the beautiful Berkshire countryside, Ascot stages 25 of the highest quality Flat and National hunt racing days during the year.

The highlight is the world famous Royal meeting in June, which takes place over 5 days. Royal Ascot combines unrivalled horseracing action with pageantry, tradition and style.
