Royal
Ascot
 |
The
Lowdown: By far the most social of the
summer race meetings, this five-day extravaganza
is as much about fine clothes and millenary
as horses. You have to be a regular (or be
recommended by one) to lay your hands on a
badge for the exclusive Royal Enclosure, where
the most dressed-up racegoers saunter. No
luck this year? Fortunately, the newly renovated
facilities include plenty of elegant eateries
where you can console yourself with good food
and champagne, or you could be wildly extravagant
and hire a private box.
When: Tuesday through Saturday of the
third week in June; prices vary.
Where: Ascot Racecourse, Ascot, Berkshire
