The annual Fireworks Spectacular Family Raceday returns to Ascot with a bang this November, promising an
action-packed day filled with an array of activities for racegoers of all ages. Featuring a high-quality card of
jumps racing, finishing with one of Berkshire’s most impressive fireworks displays, this event is designed to
light up the sky and create unforgettable memories for the entire family.
The day is built around an exciting seven-race card as the Jumps Season returns to Ascot, featuring the Gold
Cup Handicap Chase, followed by what has been described by many as the biggest and best firework display in Berkshire. A stunning pyro-musical show will cap off the day in spectacular fashion with over 20,000
fireworks lighting up the sky from the heart of the racecourse, providing a thrilling finale to an unforgettable
day out.
But that’s just the beginning! Racegoers can anticipate a fantastic range of off-track entertainment to
complement the high-speed racing, including exhilarating fairground rides, captivating live performances,
and an array of spooky activities. After the final race and before the stunning fireworks show, visitors will
have ample time to enjoy various rides and indulge in the diverse selection of food and drink on offer.
The race day is created with the local community at heart, held in association with the Ascot Round Table,
which provides a safe environment for families to enjoy exhilarating sporting action and seasonal fun. All
fairground rides are free during racing hours, with a minimal charge of £1 per ride starting at 4pm with all
proceeds donated to hand-selected local charities.
Tickets start from £30 per person when booked in advance. Queen Anne Enclosure tickets are available at a
special rate of just £25 pp for groups of 7 or more. Under-18s go FREE when accompanied by a full-paying
adult. For those celebrating an occasion or seeking an elevated experience, Fine Dining and Private Box
packages are available from £135+VAT per person.

**About Ascot Racecourse**
Ascot Racecourse was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne. The first four day June meeting at Ascot took place
in 1768, which became known some time after as Royal Ascot.
Ascot stages both Flat and Jumps races and has 26 race days, including Royal Ascot (now five days) which is Europe’s premier Flat meeting.
Eight Group One races (globally benchmarked championship level events) are staged at Royal Ascot. In total, 13 Group One Flat races are staged at the track, with three Grade Ones (the Jumps equivalents) in the winter months.
Typically, 600,000 racegoers attend Ascot over the year with half of those coming in June to the Royal
Meeting, which is broadcast in more than 200 territories.
As well as world-class racing, Ascot Racecourse is also used as a venue for conferences, weddings, banquets, exhibitions, product launches and as a film set, with some 300 non-racing events staged annually. The land on which Ascot Racecourse sits is adjacent to Windsor Great Park, covering 179 acres.
