Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

Thursday June 22nd 2023

Overnight trip departs on Wednesday June 21st 2023

This doesn't really need any introduction, but just incase: Vibrant, celebratory and steeped in tradition, the third day of Royal Ascot, known as Ladies Day, is the day to see and be seen. It is a glorious occasion, when high fashion and millinery masterpieces take centre stage alongside Flat racing's most elite stayers locking horns in the historic Gold Cup.

Last year's daytrip went down a storm with 5* reviews across the board, so we're bringing back daytrip options for next year alongside an Overnight option too!
