Since 1711, every third week of June, London gives birth to the Royal Ascot, the most important equestrian event in the world! The Royal Ascot is held in Windsor Great Park hippodrome, which is about one hour away from the capital. The format is always the same, and it has been repeating itself for 300 years: for five consecutive days, groups of horses will compete in several rounds, starting every day at 14:00; every day, the royal parade exhibits and the “Group One” takes place – the main event, where you can assist to the race of the most famous and talented horses and jockeys. The competition is worth it: the jackpot, in fact, is a millionaire one!

Opening the inaugural parade is, as anticipated, the royal procession of the Queen, which reaches the racecourse on her carriage, bringing class to the event. The event of course expects a dress code (men must dress in their daylight ceremonial dress, black or gray, vest and tie, top hat and black shoes” and women must wear a headdress at least 10 cm high starting from the base .

Much more than just equestrian event, as you can imagine, London’s Royal Ascot is a great opportunity for social life, with big personalities from the worlds of politics, international business, sports and entertainment; everyone can be found in this great festival and it is not that hard to meet them in the stands, with some bizarre, yet expensive, hat.
