Overview

This visit gives Members exclusive access to one of the world's most prestigious horseracing venues on a live Raceday. Members will go behind the scenes with Ascot's team, walking the track with a Clerk of the Course, visiting the starting stalls, and learning how the 9,000 people who keep Ascot running year-round prepare for race day.

Beyond the spectacle, the visit explores horseracing's deep roots in rural life and its significance to communities and the countryside across the UK. Members will also hear from Ascot's senior leadership on the venue's position as a global leader in the sport, and what that means for Britain's economy, soft power and international reputation.
