THE FURLONG CLUB
The Furlong Club is a fully functional semi-permanent (July – October) structured marquee next to the Grandstand and is perfect when hosting a summer party, dinner or wedding reception. Opening onto a two-layer balcony overlooking the straight mile, the Furlong Club is also ideal for BBQs, food stalls and stations. The grassed area below works well for a drinks reception or team building event, weather permitting.

Ascot offers a wide range of open spaces, terraces and beautifully manicured lawns which lend themselves to any event from conference, executive meeting and exhibition to team building event, drinks reception and summer party. Clients can also enjoy the prestige of being at one of the world’s finest, historic racecourses, experiencing the track, straight mile, final furlong, parade ring and pre-parade ring.

External spaces are a “blank canvas” and are often booked in conjunction with meeting or conference rooms based on size and proximity to internal spaces. Our experienced team will be able to recommend a location or mixture of internal and external spaces that will be the ideal back-drop to your event.

More recent external events include classic car auction, cycle event, charity run and even a circus big top

PARADE RING SUITE
A unique space, located in the heart of the Grandstand, the Parade Ring Suite has a dedicated balcony looking over the Parade Ring itself. Recent refurbishment of this suite has resulted in a sophisticated interior with beautiful fixtures and the high-quality finishes providing a functional, stylish yet flexible space for private events. Situated directly opposite the Royal Box, the suite has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Parade Ring.
