And they’re off! This summer, enjoy everything you love about Ascot at the King George VI Weekend race; whether you're partial to the thrills, people watching, or champagne, Ascot will have it all. Culture Whisper has five pairs of tickets on offer that will provide premium members access to the exclusive King Edward VII enclosure.

Orange, rhubarb, or raspberry; green, orange, or purple: pick a colour of cocktail to suits your mood with a visit to the Juniper Gin Bar. For those looking for a more traditional Ascot experience, a plethora of tea, wine, and champagne is on offer at the event's many bars.

If you fancy a bite to eat, book a picnic table and enjoy a meal al fresco or make your way to the Winning Post and choose from sandwiches and cakes from the Deli, a three-course a la carte menu at the Smokehouse, or shellfish platters from the Seafood Terrace. For anyone seeking a fine dining experience, get a table at On5 or Parade Ring Restaurant and enjoy exceptional food prepared by Ascot's award-winning head chef Gemma Amor.

But let's not forget the main event: Saturday's feature race is an exhilarating mile-and-half with a £1,150,000 prize.
