Women, grab your heels and gents, dust off your suits because Ascot Ladies Day is returning to Leicester Racecourse thanks to LOROS Hospice.
The event offers ladies and gentlemen the chance to experience the extravagance and atmosphere of the world-renowned Ascot Ladies Day right on their doorstep.
Marking the third day of the famous annual meet, on Thursday 16th June, giant plasma screens will broadcast all of the action live from Ascot directly into Leicester Racecourse where spectators will have the chance to wine, dine and have a flutter just as they would at the actual event.
LOROS Events Lead, Laura Betts, said: “This event proved to be a real hit last year and we are delighted that our Charity of the Year partner, Leicester Racecourse, is enabling us to host this event once again. We are anticipating that it will be a sell-out.”
The day will encompass plenty of entertainment, including games and awards for “best dressed” among others, a four course lunch and free access into the live race meet which takes place that evening.
“Remember, it’s not just ladies who are welcome to join us, we want to see lots of men there too,” added Laura.
“This is such a fun event, so grab your friends and colleagues and come and enjoy a fantastic day out at the races.
“And don't forget, our 'By Design' Shop in Market Street has got a selection of beautiful race day-ready outfits and hats available at bargain prices, so be sure to check them out.”
LOROS hopes that this fantastic fundraiser will raise in excess of £10,000, which could pay for 1,000 patients to be collected from their homes and brought to LOROS Day Therapy where they can take part in creative activities, access complementary therapies and seek advice from specialist doctors and physiotherapists before returning home later the same day.
Leicester Racecourse director Rob Bracken, said: “The team at Leicester Racecourse are delighted to be working with LOROS once again.
“As one of our charities of the year, we do as much as we can to support the Hospice and the work they do; and what better way than holding a fundraising event right here at Leicester Racecourse.”
Tickets for The Ascot Ladies Day Experience are on sale now from as little as £40 per person, when booking a table of 10.
