Queen Anne Enclosure Box

Private Boxes

Introduction

The superb grandstand at Ascot has more private boxes than other comparable events. These exclusive facilities are generally let on an annual basis to private companies, however, a select number can be reserved for Royal Ascot, which are generally sold as fully-inclusive packages. Depending on their location in the grandstand, the boxes have access either to the Royal Enclosure or the Queen Anne Enclosure. The boxes furthest from the Winning Post are those within the designated Queen Anne Enclosure. Boxes are located on Floors 2, 3, 5 & 6 of the grandstand and range in capacities from as few as 10 guests to as many as 108 guests.

Facility/Décor

Many boxes have been decorated to a very high standard by annual box holders, whereas others are more basic. Each box has a private bar together with a dining area and a large TV monitor. Each box has a private balcony with fabulous views of the racecourse and the Berkshire countryside. A few fixed folding chairs are included for use on the balcony in most boxes. Betting facilities are within easy access to all private boxes.

Private Tables

There is a private dining table in each box unless you choose to have a more relaxed and casual buffet dining.

Admission Tickets

These boxes are situated within the Queen Anne Enclosure, where your ticket will allow access into the Parade Ring and also enjoy the post-racing tradition of singing around the bandstand. You cannot access the Royal Enclosure with this admission ticket. All guests are asked to adhere to Ascot’s dress code, which for the Queen Anne Enclosure advises that Ladies should dress in a manner that befits a formal occasion and gentlemen should wear a suit with collared shirt and tie.
