Royal Ascot 2010 Course and Dress Tips and Information
If you plan on heading to Royal Ascot in 2010 we're sure the ever eternal question of what to wear (for the ladies of course) will be bandied about quite often. There are of course dress recommendations and dress codes for the Ascot course (depending on which part of the course you are entering), and we hope to enlighten potential Royal Ascot race festival goers here in this blog entry.
In the Silver Ring enclosure smart dressing is encouraged but is not essential. Basically as long as you are clothed you can wear anything in the Silver Ring as long as you keep modesty in mind. Wearing a bikini, for example, may give cause for you to be refused entry.
Ladies with a Grandstand Admission ticket are required to dress in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion. Many wear hats although this is not compulsory. Gentlemen in the Grandstand Admission area must wear a shirt and tie, preferably with a suit or jacket. Sports attire, jeans and shorts are strictly forbidden.
If you are lucky enough to obtain an entrance ticket to the Royal Enclosure then Her Majestys Representative wishes to point out that only formal day dress with a hat or substantial fascinator will be acceptable. Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour. Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat. A gentleman may remove his top hat within a restaurant, a private box, a private club or that facilities terrace, balcony or garden. Hats may also be removed within any enclosed external seating area within the Royal Enclosure Garden. Children between the ages of 10-16 years inclusive are welcome to attend the Royal Enclosure on the Friday and Saturday of the Royal Meeting, providing they are accompanied by a Royal Enclosure badge-holder. Childrens badges are free of charge and can be collected on the Friday and Saturday of the Royal Meeting from the Royal Enclosure enquiry offices. It is not necessary to submit a childs name prior to the Royal Meeting. Girls must wear a modest dress or skirt, boys a suit or jacket and smart trousers with a tie. Jeans and trainers are not permissible. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted in the Royal Enclosure. Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal national dress of their country or Service dress. Ladies and Gentlemen not complying with the above dress regulations will be asked to leave the Royal Enclosure and relieved of their Royal Enclosure badge.
