Ladies Day (or Gold Cup Day) is the third day of horse racing at Royal Ascot in Berkshire. Ladies day this year falls on 17th June, and will be a chance for ladies to show off their designer clothes. Ladies are required to ‘dress in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion’, and are required to wear a hat. Most hats are conservative; some may be extremely flamboyant and extreme.

We have several crochet patterns for ladies hats if you wish to recreate your own mini Royal Ascot.
