Royal Ascot 2027: Tickets, Dress Codes and Executive Travel
Royal Ascot is the highlight of the British summer season, five days of top-class flat racing, fashion and the famous Royal Procession. It runs from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 June 2027 at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, with Ladies Day (Gold Cup Day) on Thursday 17 June. Around 300,000 racegoers attend across the week.
