2026 takes us to Ascot, but it wouldn’t be Date in the Diary if we didn’t do Ascot with style and sophistication. So this year, we are heading to The Garden Club which is an exclusive outdoor space for those looking to socialise away from the hustle and bustle of the Queen Anne Enclosure while still being able to venture out and enjoy all it has to offer.
At this private lawned area, adjacent to the home straight, guests can unwind and celebrate in style while enjoying outstanding views of the Royal Procession journeying up the Straight Mile and the world’s best horses battling for Royal Ascot glory over the final furlong.
