**ABOUT ASCOT AND ROYAL ASCOT**

Nestled in woodland adjacent to Windsor Great Park lies a place like no other. First discovered by Queen Anne in 1711, Ascot is the most celebrated racecourse in the world.

Nothing short of a national institution, this 179-acre expanse of meticulously manicured grounds is home to the most famous race meeting in the world – Royal Ascot.

When the first four-day race meeting took place on this magnificent site in 1768, the Royal Meeting’s remarkable legacy, now under its thirteenth Monarch, began. To this day, there is no occasion quite as revered as Royal Ascot with its unique blend of sport of the highest quality and effortless fashion and style.

Featuring eight Group One races and 19 Group races in total, the now five-day spectacular draws a crowd of more than 250,000 racegoers and ignites the passions of viewers in some 175 countries around the world.

Delivering enjoyment for visitors in all seasons, Ascot hosts 26 days of racing each year across both the Flat and Jumps codes. But Ascot is much more than a haven for socialising alongside racing excellence. Hosting an astounding 300 non-racing events every year, it serves as a captivating backdrop for film and television productions, as a venue for conferences, banquets, exhibitions and product launches and it stages an abundance of weddings of all types.
