Ascot Racecourse will once again stage its much-anticipated Fireworks Spectacular Family Raceday on Saturday, November 1.
This marks the official start of the Jumps Season.
The day promises high-quality jumps racing, family fun and a fireworks display.
The highlight on the track is the valuable Gold Cup Premier Handicap.
Gates open at 10:45am, and racing will take place from 12:55pm.
Off the track, the event has become equally renowned for its entertainment, culminating in a pyro-musical fireworks display featuring over 20,000 fireworks lighting up the skies. The day is designed with families and the local community in mind.
Fairground rides and seasonal activities run alongside the racing, with the rides free of charge during racing hours and a £1 charge per ride after 4pm.
Proceeds will be donated to select charities in partnership with the Ascot Round Table.
Following the racing, guests can enjoy the fairground and food stalls before the evening’s fireworks bring the day to a close. Ticket information:
