Ascot Christmas Racing Weekend

Ascot's Christmas Racing Weekend is one of the highlights of the winter jumps calendar, bringing top-class steeplechasing and hurdling to the famous Berkshire track just before the festive break. Saturday's card features the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle, a real test of staying power that attracts the best long-distance hurdlers in training. Add mulled wine, festive menus and a cheerful pre-Christmas crowd, and it's a brilliant day out with friends, family or colleagues. Racing takes place on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 December. Book ahead for restaurants and premium enclosures.
