Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot is rich in tradition and stands out as one of the most renowned events in the equestrian calendar. (also one of the most stylish!)
People enjoy dressing up for the occasion, leading one overly enthusiastic journalist to dub our Ascot journey as "The Toffs’ Train." While we wouldn’t go that far, the Northern Belle’s passengers do always look splendid.
In fact, every year, they host a competition for the Best Dressed Woman and Best Dressed Couple, rewarding the winners with a bottle of champagne.
As always, passengers are greeted with a red carpet and served a sparkling Mimosa cocktail before settling in for a delectable three-course brunch.
Upon arrival at Ascot, you’ll be directed to the magnificent Queen Anne Enclosure, enjoying access to the Parade Ring, Grandstand, and Bandstand, where joyful singing fills the air each day after the races.
Later, return to the train for another champagne reception, then relax in your luxurious armchairs while indulging in a sumptuous six-course dinner paired with fine wines on the leisurely journey home.
Please note that Royal Ascot’s dress code states gentlemen should wear a full-length suit and tie at all times, while ladies must have a hat or fascinator. Check the Ascot website for further details.
