Royal Ascot Ladies Day comes to Nottingham

Written by Jonathan Cross Monday, 13 February 2012

For the first time in 2012 you can enjoy the atmosphere, dress up to the nines, browse the stalls and have a little flutter at a very special ladies day luncheon, celebrating Royal Ascot, without having to leave our wonderful city. The event, which will raise funds for charity, takes place on Thursday 21 June from 11am at Blotts Country Club, Holme Pierrepont in Rushcliffe.

 

Greeted with Pimms and canapés on arrival, guests can show off their hats or demonstrate their millinery displays whilst taking a gentle stroll in the garden or a leisurely browse around one of the many stalls available on the day, selling everything from jewellery to jumpsuits, jams to jackets.

After a sumptuous, three course, waitress served luncheon, which includes half a bottle of wine per person, guests can hear from a racing expert who will provide tips and advice on how to have a little flutter on our charity sweep stake. Over freshly brewed coffee and petit fours you can then study your race cards and place your bets before we screen the first race at 1.30pm.

Inside or outside, you will be able to see the Ascot action during the afternoon from a screen, whilst continuing to browse the stalls, visiting the bar or having a bash at our charity raffle with prizes up for grabs. There will also be a sumptuous afternoon tea.

Just after the last race at 5.30pm, the raffle will be drawn and there will also be a great prize for the most outrageous hat. The event ends around 6pm. Tickets for the event are priced at £75 + vat per person and can be booked either on or offline. Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
