How to do Ladies Day

Many racecourses host their ladies day, in a slightly different way, but typically it involves brilliant racing as well as more than just horses to entertain the crowds – there’s more often than not lively bars, music, food, drink, with more often than not a stylish element to the day with dress and best-dressed competitions.

Dress the part

The type of clothing you need for Ladies’ Day will entirely depend on the venue, and enclosure that you purchase at. Typically, you are going to need more stylish clothing such as smart suits, chic dresses, stylish jumpsuit, or a skirt and top combo. It would be an advantage to purchase a hat as well or a fascinator for that extra touch to your outfit for Ladies’ Day. But be certain that the raceday has a dress code before you attend, as not every raceday encourages these dress standards.

For Ladies’ day, you will need comfortable shoes because of the amount of walking and standing there may be.

Buy your Ladies Day tickets

Once the date has been confirmed then all of a race course offers all manner of Ladies day packages including basic general admission to the restaurant and VIP boxes for that high-end treatment at Ladies day, the top racedays can become incredibly busy and book up fast.
