What a way to start Christmas, Great day spent with family and friends.
What a great place. We spent Friday and Saturday there it was fantastic.
We have been to Royal Ascot for the past 17 years and each year it just gets better and better!
We have been three years on a trot and always to the Queen Anne enclosure. We grab our hamper from the picnic area and get a seat next to the arrival of the queen and wow its so exciting .... Never miss a thing its a fantastic day and I cant fault a thing ... Brilliant .....see you in 2019
We has an amazing day at the races today! Your family area was absolutely brilliant! We came last year and it was incredibly busy and hectic, so the fact you have made an area for people with families to enjoy the racing and a day out, was really quite great. Thank you!
The creme de la creme of British Racing, an institution in itself! οΏ½οΏ½
The best dual purpose race course in the country. From the car park to the entrance, past Frankel's statue, down to the parade ring, into the stands and a great view of the racing. If you don't enjoy Ascot you don't enjoy racing. As ever too many people drinking too much but that's the modern curse. Dont complain about pricing- a coffee is still cheaper than Starbucks and you pay a little premium for the quality of the surroundings and the quality of the racing. 5 star.
Royal π ascot is the best racing event in the world
Royal Ascot - well what can I say apart from well done Ascot! Our group of 50 enjoyed whole day, great organisation and plenty of choice of bars/food etc. I felt the staff on the entry points where focused, checked our bags and were extremely friendly, made us all feel it was a start for a great day. Cant wait for next year!
Ready for tomorrow!!!!
Our Family had an amazing day at the Family Christmas Raceday yesterday. The staff were amazing with the kids and the fun fair was great. Father Christmas was the best!
My friends and I had the most amazing time fine dining in the Furlong restaurant. Ryan our waiter went out of his way to make us feel welcome and found us a phone charger to use too
Me and my sister went last Saturday ... we were astonished with venue the politeness and upbeat spirit of the staff members! And when the horse races started it was truly exciting! What an unforgettable experience! We would definitely go back...οΏ½
It's a family day, so crowded. But fun. I'm an adult but still enjoy to see Father Christmas and his elves.
Incredible day at Ascot itβs a truly amazing experience even better with a few winners.
I love you !
I love Ascot it is the 3rd time i have been .
I have been attending Royal Ascot for many years it's the highlight of the year and this year was brilliant and always is a great day out. What more is there to say about Royal Ascot it's like nowhere else.
Great say out on Saturday - winter jump meeting so a first for us. Got great seats in Frankel bar overlooking course and winning post and 6 races ensured full day out. Busy, great atmosphere but without the summer crowds. Also had goid lubch in restaurant but even at 2pm things had run out from limited menu. Perhaps busier than anticipated.
Great excuse to dress up, enjoy a glass of bubbly or two and watch some of the best horse racing.
First trip to Ascot and was not disappointed not the biggest of meetings which made the day so much better as there where not too many crowds
Lovely touches all over the place and made very Christmassy with the choir and the falling snow οΏ½ after racing
Will definitely return in the new year
First time at Ascot, what a great place, enjoyed the whole day. Had a 9 to 1 winner which just added to a wonderful day. Well done to all associated with Ascot
Fantastic day had by all of us (family of 5 and a friend) the staff were amazing and even took us so our son could get his picture taken with the Porsche and the silks etc, so family friendly and made all the kids feel so welcome (age 5- 12) I really can't speak highly enough of you all and we will definitely be back.
Excellent day out yesterday first time Iβd been for a few years will definitely be going back hopefully for the Royal meeting all staff I spoke to yesterday were friendly and helpful
An absolutely fantastic family race day. So many wonderful free Christmas activities for our daughter. Food and drink very reasonably priced. The carols at the end were a lovely end to the day. In our diary as an annual event now.
Go to Ascot quite often. Never had a bad experience except for time they sent us the wrong badges for the king george meeting and couldn't go in the area we paid for. Well organised venue with friendly staff. Recommend
Cup of tea or should I say small plastic cup of tea is expensive Β£2.20p.and I have noticed the cost to get in is starting to rise again, now the crowds are coming back, so having been into racing over 55 years, I can see the crowds dwindling soon. I am old enough to remember when the pricing nearly shut racing and then they brought the cost down and had entertainment which brought the crowds back. Greed will always kill live sports.
Royal Ascot is GREAT. NBC Sports production is horrible. Camera zooms out when it should zoom in, camera on wrong horse while talking heads go on about different horse, dead air, clunky seques. At least the racing is FANTASTIC.
My review is based on the lack of facilities in the Village enclosure. Attended Royal Ascot on the Saturday and did have a good day but there was a small number of toilets in the enclosure which ended up being blocked by the middle of the day! It was EXTREMELY frustrating and feel they need to sort that out for next year!
Good Day out stand course side is Freezing thou rap up warm .Β£9.80 for fish chips crazy
Family day is amazing and always enjoy it but very disappointing that there were NO rides my 6 year old could go on. Last year there were a few rides for her to have none is a very poor show. She was really upset.
The building is so badly designed , itβs like a wind tunnel, always cold.
The prices are ridiculous and not catering for the average person , case in point 20 pounds for a ticket to a garden show, then there are the queues , this is a constant problem if you want a coffee or drink
Hi. Are there any members of the Royal Ascot Club here? It seems to be a little complicated to get to be a member. you need two recommendations by two existing members!!! what of you are new and have no close friends who are members??? there must be another way to verify the decency of people who would like to become members. any ideas any one?
Badly let down today by your food outlets you need to get a grip and look after your racegoers they pay the bills
The website was not user friendly and I was on the phone all day, just trying to book a lunch. No one responded to our email either. Awful, awful, awful.
The racing...definayely not my cup of tea...very disappointedοΏ½ Will take US Thoroughbred racing any day οΏ½
Ruining the town of Ascot with utter shameful greed. Races almost weekly with NOTHING offered for the towns security of clean up. Slowly turning the whole town off the races.
Not nearly enough female toilets, dress code was 'make it up as you go', generally unhelpful staff....won't be visiting again.
I am so disappointed to have to write a negative review.
We attended royal ascot on Friday in the queen Anne enclosure.
I had a bad feeling when despite a supposed strict dress code I found myself surrounded by bare shoulders, men with no socks and best of all flip flops. At first I thought we were in the wrong enclosure. But no the so called strict dress code not so much.
More frustrating was the bar facilities. Or lack of. 30 minutes queue minimum. I actually missed two races stuck in the queue.
Much room for improvement sadly.
