thought The user wants me to act as a marketing copywriter for Imperial Corporate Events and write a short, engaging summary for a curated package for Royal Ascot. Here's a breakdown of the key information and constraints: **General Details:** * Package Name: Restaurant in The Village (internal, not for client-facing summary start) * Category: Horse Racing * Date Status: Various * Duration: 1 day **Event/Experience Details:** * Event/Experience Name: Royal Ascot (don't mention by name in summary) * Description: World-class racing, elegant hospitality, Champagne, seasonal dishes, vibrant atmosphere. **Hospitality:** * Name: Restaurant in the Village (don't start summary with this name) * Dining Type: 4-Course Luncheon * Seating Type: Private Table * Access To: Village Enclosure * Description: Marquee, relaxed base, circular tables, playful touches (hot air balloons, plane). Sample menu: On the Table, Starters, Main Course, Dessert, Cheese, Afternoon Tea. * Amenities: Complimentary Bar, Complimentary Parking, Racing cards & paper, Facilities for additional purchases, Afternoon tea, Live entertainment, Welcome Drink (Pimm's). **Itinerary Highlights:** * Welcome Pimm's * Complimentary bar opens * 4-course lunch served * Royal Procession * Races * Afternoon tea served * Ascot Village Enclosure after-party **Key Constraints & Rules:** * **Length:** 30-90 characters. DO NOT exceed 90. * **Tone:** Simple, natural, lighthearted, relaxed professional. * **Ampersands:** Use "&" instead of "and". * **Factual & Concise:** Avoid excessive adjectives. * **Don't start with:** Hospitality component name, "Your". * **Numbers:** Use digits (e.g., "4-course"). * **No full stop** at the end. * **Avoid specific "cringey" words:** fantastic, wonderful, unleash, get ready for, skyrocket, thrills, thrilling, await, prime, premier, etc. * **Avoid generic sales verbs:** Enjoy, Experience, Savor, Discover, Witness. * **Don't use "hospitality"** (unless specified in GENERAL DETAILS, which it isn't). * **Don't mention "Royal Ascot"** by name. * **Don't simply list components with commas.** Should be a descriptive phrase/sentence. * **If specific format/day:** Mention it. (The Village Enclosure is specific enough for the setting). * **If multiple packages & room/hotel mentioned:** Not applicable. * **If hospitality component, mention in first few words.** (This is the tricky one with "Don't mention the name... at the very start"). I will interpret this as describing the *type* of hospitality or its main feature, not the specific name "Restaurant in The Village". **Drafting Ideas:** 1. Focus on dining, bar, enclosure, and after-party. * "Private table 4-course lunch, complimentary bar, Village Enclosure & after-party access" (80 characters) * This covers the main points: private dining, open bar, specific enclosure, and the after-party. * Checks: * Length: 80 chars (OK) * Tone: OK * Ampersand: OK * Factual/Concise: OK * Starts with: "Private table..." (OK, not the specific name) * Numbers: "4-course" (OK) * No full stop: OK * Cringey words: None (OK) * Generic verbs: None (OK) * "Hospitality": Not used (OK) * "Royal Ascot": Not mentioned (OK) * Not just commas: Reads as a phrase (OK) * Specific format: "Village Enclosure" (OK) * Hospitality in first words: "Private table 4-course lunch" (OK) Let's try to make it even more concise or impactful if possible, but 80 characters is good. Consider other amenities: Welcome Pimm's, Afternoon tea, Live entertainment. Can I fit "Welcome Pimm's" or "Afternoon tea"? "Private table 4-course lunch, complimentary bar, Village Enclosure & afternoon tea" (79 chars) - This is good too, but the after-party feels more unique and engaging. "Private table 4-course lunch, welcome Pimm's, complimentary bar & Village Enclosure" (80 chars) - Also good, but "after-party access" adds more excitement. I think the first option is the strongest as it highlights the unique "after-party access" which is a good differentiator. "Private table 4-course lunch, complimentary bar, Village Enclosure & after-party access" This seems to meet all requirements.

Royal Ascot Hospitality

Ascot Racecourse has been a fixture of the British summer since 1711, and for five days in June, it becomes the centre of the racing world. The arrival of the Royal Procession at 2 p.m. each day signals the start of the racing, but the day itself begins much earlier. There are several ways to structure your day, depending on the experience you're after. A Private Box is the most personal option. You have your own space and a private balcony overlooking the track, with a dedicated staff to look after your party. It’s your own world for the day. For a classic fine-dining approach, the On-5 Restaurant on the fifth floor of the Grandstand offers a menu from a Michelin-starred chef and a private terrace with a clear view of the winning post. A floor above, the Panoramic Restaurant lives up to its name with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a complete view of the course. If you prefer to be closer to the track, The Furlong Club provides a private decked terrace right alongside the final straight. It’s less formal than a restaurant, with food served from chefs' stations. The Lawn Club offers a similar trackside position, placing you just 300 metres from the winning line in a relaxed, garden-party setting. For a different atmosphere altogether, the Restaurant in The Village is located on the inside of the track, looking back at the Grandstand. It has a festival feel with live music and al fresco seating. The Gallery and The Pavilion Restaurant are also within the Grandstand, offering different styles of dining, from contemporary to classic.

Imperial suggests bringing a light jacket just in case there's a chilly spell. Rest assured, there are plenty of indoor facilities within your hospitality suite where you can comfortably enjoy the races if you prefer to stay indoors.

Dress code

At Royal Ascot, each enclosure comes with its own unique dress code, ensuring you look as fabulous as the event itself. Remember, stag or hen-do attire is a no-go throughout the racecourse. Here’s your guide to dressing to impress in each enclosure: Windsor Enclosure - In the Windsor Enclosure, there’s no strict dress code, but we encourage you to don your smartest daywear. Think stylish hats, headpieces, or fascinators, paired with jackets and collared shirts. Make a statement with your elegant yet relaxed look! Village Enclosure - For the Village Enclosure, you’re free to express your style, as long as your dress or top isn’t strapless, off-the-shoulder, or Bardot style. There’s no length limit on dresses or skirts. If you opt for full-length trousers, make sure your socks cover your ankles. Feel free to wear a necktie, bow tie, or cravat to complete your ensemble. Queen Anne Enclosure - In the Queen Anne Enclosure, maintain a touch of sophistication with dresses and tops that are not strapless, off-the-shoulder, or Bardot style. Dresses and skirts can be of any length. Full-length trousers require socks that cover the ankles. A standard necktie is a must, while bow ties and cravats are off-limits. Royal Enclosure - The Royal Enclosure calls for the pinnacle of elegance. Ladies, a hat or headpiece with a solid base of at least 4 inches in diameter is essential—fascinators are a no-go. Halter necks, strapless dresses and tops, off-the-shoulder straps, Bardot necklines, and one-shoulder garments are all out. Gentlemen, sport grey, black, or navy morning dress, including: Waistcoat and tie, Black or grey top hat, Black shoes with socks

With thousands of guests flocking to Royal Ascot over the five-day event and an array of fantastic hospitality suites to choose from, it’s easy to feel a bit overwhelmed. But don’t worry! Our friendly ICE staff will be there to guide you every step of the way. Once you arrive at your hospitality suite or box, you’ll have everything you need: delicious food, refreshing beverages, racing cards, prime vantage points, and screens for close-up viewing. While you may never want to leave your suite, we understand the allure of heading to the parade ring to welcome the Royal Family or soaking up the atmosphere before and after the races. Rest assured, Ascot Racecourse is well-signposted, so you’ll easily find your way back to your table. There are four enclosures at Royal Ascot: The Royal Enclosure, Queen Anne Enclosure, Windsor Enclosure, and the Village Enclosure. Depending on your Imperial hospitality package, you’ll have access to one of these exclusive areas. If you or your guests need any assistance navigating the racecourse, our dedicated event managers will be on hand all five days to ensure you have a seamless and unforgettable experience!

Gentle reminder

Arrive with Plenty of Time - Royal Ascot attracts around 300,000 guests over its thrilling five-day event, so expect some traffic jams on your way to the racecourse. The gates open at 10:30 am, the Royal Procession takes place at 2pm and the first race commences at 2:30pm each day, so we suggest getting there early to make the most of your day. Enjoy all the fabulous amenities in your hospitality suite, including a complimentary bar and gourmet food offerings.

Getting there

By car, Ascot Racecourse is close to the M3, M4, M40 & M25 Motorways meaning an easy drive to the racecourse. If you are arriving by taxi, your taxi can drop you right outside the racecourse easily. Our elite packages will provide you and your guests with a parking label. This label allows you to park for free in your allocated car park which is only a short walk away from the racetrack. Many guests opt to take the train to the racecourse. Ascot Station is only a 7-minute walk from the racecourse and there is a path for you to easily walk along. From London Waterloo to Ascot, you can take a direct train for an average of 52 minutes. South Western Railway train also travels directly from Clapham Junction, Richmond and Twickenham.

A fantastically well organised event, everything ran smoothly with no issues or concerns. Simplistic entry into the event with what can only be described as top tier staff that were wholly professional, courteous and welcoming! A massive shout out to Jordan Knibbs for her support in ensuring my enrolment for the event was very easy and in no way time consuming, she was on hand to ensure there were no problems on the day too! A great day had by all!!
