View the official picnic policy here.
In the Windsor Enclosure – Picnics are allowed. However, they must be brought to the racecourse in a picnic hamper or cool bag/box. Please see alcohol allowance below. Picnics must be brought in at the time of entry to the enclosure and not on re-entry. Food or drinks of any description will not be allowed in with customers coming in on a re-entry ticket.
If you are coming with a large group and your picnic and Sparkling Wine or Champagne is divided among your hampers, please all arrive together for searching or split the alcohol evenly across the party. Otherwise individuals arriving with more alcohol than food will have to dispose of the excess alcohol.
Sharp bladed kitchen knives will not be permitted.
Alcohol allowance
In the Windsor Enclosure and Heath Enclosure Only – To embrace the celebratory nature of Royal Ascot, each customer is permitted to bring with them 1 bottle of sparkling wine or champagne per person to accompany their picnic. No other type of alcoholic drink will be permitted into the racecourse grounds and all picnics will be searched on entry. Please note that soft drinks will only be permitted into the enclosure with seals intact.
All our packages include exclusive access to our private seating area inside the Windsor enclosure. We are conveniently located directly opposite the entrance – accessible once you enter the Windsor Enclosure.

In our early years at Royal Ascot we were based in the coach park before and after the races, where our numbers grew from 30 attendees in year 1, to over 1000 in year 4! Following a trial in 2024, we’re proud to be the first group to secure a private seated area inside the Windsor Enclosure, with music and entertainment all day, across three days!
