Is there a dress code?

The autumn meeting is more relaxed than the summer season. All three tiers sit in the King Edward VII Enclosure. Dress is smart but relaxed; we'll confirm the specifics for your tier when we book.

What's included in the hospitality?

Three tiers, all in the King Edward VII Enclosure. ON 5 Restaurant on the fifth floor of the Grandstand, with a four-course set menu, Champagne and canapés, afternoon tea and a complimentary bar. The Panoramic Restaurant on the sixth floor, with a four-course luncheon, afternoon tea and a Champagne reception. Or a Private Box with its own bar, a set lunch and a balcony for your party. Every tier includes the Ascot Beer Festival, parking, the Tote and racecards.

Ascot Racecourse. Your booking confirmation includes the exact entrance, gate, and meeting point.

How far ahead should we book?

The earlier the better. Private Boxes and ON 5 tables move quickly once corporate parties start locking in autumn diaries, so get in touch as soon as you've a rough date and headcount.

What's actually in the package?

Your day with hospitality at your chosen tier: ON 5 Restaurant, the Panoramic Restaurant, or a Private Box. We can layer in accommodation and transfers around it if you'd like a fuller weekend.

Why book a package with you instead of buying tickets separately?

We pair your hospitality with the right room and transfers, and we handle the logistics. You turn up, we've already sorted the moving parts.

Can we mix hospitality tiers across our group?

Usually, yes. Some of your party in a Private Box, others in the Panoramic or ON 5, depending on budget and preference. We'll talk through what works for your numbers.

What's the Beer Festival side of the weekend?

Ascot's autumn Beer Festival runs alongside the racing on both days: craft brewers on the lawns and live music between races. Access is included with every hospitality package, so you can wander out between courses.

Can we book Friday, Saturday, or both?

Both days are available, Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October, with the same three hospitality tiers on each. Book a single day or make a weekend of it; tell us your dates and headcount and we will sort the rest.
