(Silver Ring tickets are greatly restricted.) Other highlights of a Grandstand Admission ticket include: * Over 1,000 free seats are available to view the racing. * Big Screen TVs on the Plaza Lawn. * Military Bands performing in the Parade Ring before the Royal Procession each day. * Traditional sing-along around the Bandstand after racing on each day. Free song books provided. * Food outlets selling a variety of value for money cuisine options. And the best part is, you get to mix with the Royal Enclosure. To obtain a ticket to the Royal Enclosure you must be recommended by two people who have attended for more than four years. Grandstand Admission Dress Code Ladies with a Grandstand Admission ticket are suggested to dress in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion. (Garden Party or Wedding Wear) Many wear hats, although this is not compulsory. Gentlemen in the Grandstand Admission area must wear a shirt and tie, preferably with a suit or jacket. Sports attire, jeans and shorts are strictly forbidden. Hats Just a warning, if you dont wear a hat, you will wish you did! It is fun and all you really need is a simple feather from Accessorise. We will be hosting a Pre-Ascot Hat hire party which will teach you the history of the British hat making industry and enable you to wear a £300 hat for £30! Food on the day Sandwiches, Salads and all the trimmings will be available for purchase (next to the Champagne bar!) or you could pack your own. The group will be meeting for afternoon tea. £15 will be payable on the day. How to book Pre-booking is suggested as many of our events do sell out!
