Royal Ascot is the highlight of the British summer season. It is held in mid-June, with members of the British royal family in attendance, and with the most extravagant millinery at the centre of the 5-day race event.

Racegoers in the Grandstand area are encouraged to dress for a formal day occasion, and are requested to wear a hat or headpiece at all times. If dressing for the Royal Enclosure, formal daywear is required, and hats and headpieces must have a base of at least 10cm.

It is always possible to have a bespoke headpiece made especially for Ascot – with each detail and colour designed, dyed and adapted to your specifications. It is best to allow 8 weeks for bespoke orders.
