Celebrate the festive season in style at Ascot's final race meeting of the year, featuring fantastic racing and great festive food and drink off the track.
The racing is set to be thrilling, with a quality Jumps card featuring a pair of Grade 2 races – the Howden Kennel Gate Novices’ Hurdle and the Howden Noel Novices’ Chase, both are valuable prizes that often throw up notable performers on the road to the Cheltenham Festival.
Gather family, friends and colleagues to enjoy the most valuable meeting of Ascot’s Jumps season, as the Christmas holidays begin in earnest.
A top-quality card features the Grade 1 Howden Long Walk Hurdle, one of Britain’s most prestigious long-distance hurdle races.
Off the track, there’s an abundance of seasonal fun for all with a range of festive entertainment set to delight racegoers of all ages.
The traditional fairground rides and candle-lit carol singing with the Ascot Brass Band remain firmly part of the entertainment, and Father Christmas and his reindeer will be in attendance.
Tickets from £20, Kids go free with a full-paying adult.
