Well, that was an experience! One of our friends at the rugby club is a member of the Royal Enclosure at Ascot and has been going for 20+ years, she's allowed to bring guests so invited another couple of couples. Other than being insanely hot being all dressed up all day it was such good fun.
The royals were there and did a horse drawn cart parade before the racing started but we had better things to do and missed that.
The amount of money on show is ridiculous. We're certainly not poor, but would have easily been in the bottom 1%. But, bottom 1% of the top 1% isn't bad. If you add everything up it was probably a £600 day (each!).
Tickets £207.50
Booze £140+
Suit hire £200
Food £30
Gambling £30 (not bad considering I know nothing about it)
Child minding ?
Car park
