The quality of the horse racing at the Royal Meeting is simply outstanding. It is an essential date for your diary.

Trousers must be full length and worn with a top that adheres to the guidelines. Jackets and pashminas may be worn but dresses and tops underneath must still comply with the dress code. Midriffs must be covered. Gentlemen; a smart suit with shirt and tie or top hats and tails; traditional dress is welcomed. Sports attire, jeans and shorts are strictly forbidden.
