Ascot Racecourse, Ascot Authority Suite

First time going and it was a really great experience. The staff was very helpful and gave clear directions. The weather was also very good, although I'm sure that will play a big role in how you experience the venue. I can imagine if it's raining it won't be nearly as pleasant, as things would get wet and muddy very quickly. I was in the village enclosure and there was more than enough room for people to walk around - did not feel like a stampede. There were load of food trucks, cocktail bars etc, so no shortage of food and drink. Traffic wasn't great - very clogged as you get closer to Ascot. You can book parking with Ascot or pay on the day (say a few places that listed it for £45). If you want to drive, I'd recommend you book parking via another app at a private house or other venue. Much cheaper. Otherwise get an uber or use train. Overall a great day out with bands playing in the eve - will definitely go again.

Had a fantastic time at the Royal Ascot. Spent the day in the Queen Anne Enclosure hospitality, in The Gallery. The day started with a champagne reception, with an open bar, 3 course luncheon and afternoon tea. Absolutely everything was top tier, with a great view from the balcony of all the races. Our table hosts were really friendly and nothing was too much for them. We had excellent weather which only added to the great day. Would definitely recommend and would return.
