Ascot Beer Festival 1st and 2nd of October

Wednesday 1 September 2021

Autumn Racing Weekend and Ascot Beer Festival Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd October 2021

Get your weekend off to a great start by combining top-class Flat racing and a wide selection of real ales, ciders and perries to enjoy at the Ascot Beer Festival in association with CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale)…

This hugely popular annual event returns to Ascot Racecourse for 2021 to transform the Grandstand Concourse into an avenue of British-brewed beers from CAMRA’s impressive roster of breweries.

Ascot’s penultimate Flat meeting of the season features two days of competitive racing, including two Group 3 contests and the most valuable seven-furlong handicap run anywhere in the UK, the £125,000 Challenge Cup, on the Saturday.

Off the track, racegoers are in for a further treat with BBQ enthusiasts from the acclaimed Smoke & Fire Festival. Experience their succulent pulled pork or American style smoked brisket with flavours that could be straight from the Deep South. For those looking for a bit more amusement from the occasion there will be sausage and chilli eating competition throughout the afternoon, are you up for the challenge?

To make sure this event truly has something for everyone Ascot’s Official Wine Supplier Hallgarten & Novum will be hosting a brand-new wine tasting bar in the Grandstand offering the chance to sample a wide selection of red, white or rose wines between races while live music on the lawns rounds off the day.

Thrilling racing, an outstanding selection of beers and wines and a mouth-watering BBQ feast combine to guarantee excitement on tap, and a seriously tasty start to a memorable weekend at Ascot.
