What is it?

Race, Rattle ‘n’ Roll is a horse racing event with a twist and offers the perfect excuse to get together with friends, family or colleagues.

Ascot - Race, Rattle 'n' Roll Ascot’s only evening meeting will have an electric retro atmosphere as the Grandstand is transformed into a chic American diner.  Set against a backdrop of classic Cadillacs and ice cream sundaes, racegoers are encouraged to get into the swing of things and wear 1950s dress.

The evening consists of six competitive races over various distances.  After racing there will be live jive music in the Grandstand complete with ‘guys and dolls’ on hand to show you how the toe-tapping is done.

Gates open at 3pm with the first race starting at 5.25pm.
