If you’re into your horse racing, October 18th is one date you’re going to have booked long in advance. Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse is the richest date in the flat racing calendar and the final big race of the QIPCO British Champions Series.
If you’re planning to spend the day watching some of the finest racing in the world, why not stay for the weekend in one of our fine holiday cottages? We have a selection of high quality cottages around Berkshire and Windsor. Treat yourself and your family to a great weekend away to enjoy a day of racing and a day of leisure.
The QIPCO British Champions Series is one of the highlights of British racing. It begins in May at Newmarket and continues through the summer until this final race. It includes races at Epsom, Newbury, Royal Ascot, York, Goodwood and Haydock park, some of the most famous racecourses in the country.
Fixtures include The Investec Coronation Cup, The Queen Anne Stakes, The Prince of Wales's Stakes, The Gold Cup and many more. All culminating in The QIPCO British Champions Series.
Even if you’re not into horse racing, a day at Ascot is as much as spectacle to experience as it is a race to bet on and watch. A place to see and be seen, to people watch, to look for celebrities and even see the Queen. Add fine dining or a picnic on the grass when permitted and you have all the makings of a fine day out!
Holidaycottages.net has a selection of high quality holiday rentals within easy reach of Ascot. We have many in Berkshire and Hampshire which provide convenient access to the racecourse as well as all the other things each county has to offer. It would be easy to spend a day at Ascot, have dinner in Windsor and then spend Sunday in the New Forest, or shopping in Reading or Woking.
Both Berkshire and Hampshire have a lot to offer the discerning traveller as well as a horse-mad family. There is a lot to see and do in either and both have fast routes into Ascot which is near Bracknell in Berkshire.
Use the interactive map or select Berkshire to see exactly which holiday cottages are available this weekend. Then it’s just a case of booking, confirming and packing!
If you’re going to the races this weekend, we hope you enjoy it, wherever you’re staying.
