12,000 Spectators Expected Each Day For The Royal Ascot Meeting
Royal Ascot will welcome British racing's biggest crowd for 15 months as the five‑day event starts on Tuesday.
The Queen is expected to attend on the opening day, with 12,000 spectators allowed daily as part of a test event.
The meeting starts with three top‑level Group One races on the opening day.
Anticipation is high with the biggest British racing fixtures since the Cheltenham Festival in March 2020, including Ascot a year ago, which was held without spectators because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Racegoers must provide negative Covid‑19 tests to gain admission as the pilot events continue for welcoming back crowds to sporting events.
Most of those will be situated within the Royal Enclosure, where a top hat and tails remains part of the signature dress code for men.
