Where Racing, Pageantry and High Society Converge
Since 1711, Royal Ascot has stood as the undisputed pinnacle of British horse racing and summer social calendar. For five days each June, the Berkshire racecourse becomes a stage where thoroughbred excellence meets unmistakeable elegance — and where the world’s most discerning guests gather to see and be seen.
Crofton & Park presents the definitive guide to experiencing Royal Ascot 2026 with the access and sophistication it demands.
The Essential Dates — 16th – 20th June 2026
