Royal Ascot Queen Anne Enclosure

If you are planning to attend the Royal Ascot for the first time, it helps to know your ticket options.  The Queen Anne Enclosure (also known as Grandstand) is a more upscale option than the Windsor enclosure or the Village enclosure, but lacks the exclusivity of the Royal Enclosure.  As such, you can enjoy an experience which marries class with relaxation and a laid-back vibe.  The Queen Anne benefits from a delightful central location with an excellent view of the Parade Ring.  Plus, there are a ton of great amenities - especially for bettors! 

• Watch the horses on the Parade Ring as they are brought by on display before they race.

• The Queen Anne enclosure also offers a superior view of the races, in particular the last furlongs.  This is where the action is most intense! 

• Enjoy singing around the Bandstand, a long-standing Royal Ascot race tradition.  This event begins at 6 pm each evening, and is a wonderfully nostalgic way to celebrate Ascot!

• Choose from a number of different bars and restaurants for first-rate cuisine.  The food is amazing, and the views are outstanding too!  Both fine and casual dining options are available.

• Upgrade your ticket to the Furlong Club.  If you prefer a somewhat more exclusive environment, you can upgrade your £75.00 ticket to a Furlong Club ticket from £191.00.  This gives you access to elegant seating on a private decked terrace.  Food, champagne, betting couriers, a racing tipster, a complimentary racecard, and TV screening racing coverage are all included as part of the package.  This makes the Furlong Club a perfect option if you are planning to wager on Royal Ascot events!

• Upgrade to the Lawn Club.  A track facing marquee features an excellent view, privacy, and many of the same great amenities that you would get as a member of the Furlong Club.  Picket fencing screens you off from your neighbours, and comfortable lawn furniture makes the Silks Lawn a relaxing environment.  Amenities include an exclusive pay bar, signage you can post outside to help members of your party find you, racecards, and betting facilities. Reservations start at £339.00 per person. 

As you can see, the Queen Anne Enclosure is arguably the best choice for someone attending the Royal Ascot to wager on the horses.  There are so many great extra amenities if you upgrade to the Furlong Club or Lawn Club.  You get to enjoy the best of what Royal Ascot has to offer in an atmosphere that is at once elegant and relaxed.
