WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?

Ladies

Strictly speaking, there is only a specific dress code in the 'Premier' Enclosure. We ask all Premier Enclosure Racegoers to wear smart, casual dress as a minimum. We do not allow t-shirts, shorts or trainers in this area.

However, pretty much 'anything goes' elsewhere on the course.

Bear in mind, all rules go out of the window on Ladies Day! The female contingent really dress to impress - hats, high heels, dresses - there's honour and pride at stake in the Best Dressed Lady competition!

The most important things to consider for your day out at the races are:

Dress for comfort

You'll be walking around, moving from the restaurants to the Parade Ring to the bars to the stands to find your viewing place.

Look at the weather forecast

The Great British climate is very changeable and so, while there are lots of areas under cover, you still have to walk from the car park to the stands! We have an up to date weather forecast on the site too - click here for the latest info.
