<p>Let&#8217;s be real, the quality of racing at Newbury never fails to disappoint. For those here for all the action, get your heart thumping with the show-stopping Group 1, Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes. It&#8217;s a flat-out nail bitter with seven races taking place on the day. The gates open at 11.45am, with the first starting at 1.50pm and the last at 5.15pm. That not quenching your full equine appetite? There&#8217;s more where that come from. On the day, enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes opportunities including parade ring tours, jockey talks and trips to the start, as well as getting up close and personal with a retired racehorse, courtesy of the racecourse charity partner, Greatwood. </p>

<p>There ain&#8217;t no party like an S Club party? Nope. More like there ain&#8217;t no party like a race day party. When all the hoofing action is all done and dusted, no reason to pack up and head home. The fun is just getting started. Stick around and enjoy an epic after party by worldwide festival veterans Lovely Laura and DJ Ben Santiago who will be providing all the fist-bumping tunes in their one-of-a-kind saxophone and DJ duo.

<p>Foodies rejoice! All that rip-roaring action is hungry work. Refuel and enjoy 5-star service at a choice of two excellent restaurants &#8211; The Hennessy is an award-winning fine dining panoramic restaurant with sweeping views over the winning post where you can watch the racing in real style. And if casual buffet-style grazing is more your thing, there&#8217;s the more informal Racegoers Restaurant. Plenty of food and drink vendors dotted around the grounds too, catering for all taste and dietary requirements including The Butchers’ Block, The Paddock Kitchen, Piglets Pantry, and the 1905.</p>

<p>Unleash the glitz and glam! If there was ever an excuse to dress to the nines, it&#8217;s this. Be first out the fashion blocks and go all out with your signature style and you might even attract the attention of Newbury Racecourse&#8217;s answer to Anna Wintour. The fashion squad will be out in full force, on the ground and scouting out the best dressed to hand out on-the-spot style awards to. No need to stress about hat sizes, strap width or hem length either – Newbury Racecourse has a more progressive, modern vision for its Ladies Day. Just make sure you dress to impress as there&#8217;s lots of incredible prizes to be won. Catwalk pose? Perfected.</p>

<p>Newbury&#8217;s Ladies Day kicks off an entire summer of fun fun (Dizzee Rascal arrives in August!) This year it&#8217;s on 18 May so I&#8217;d like to think the sun might just make an appearance. Well, us Brits can dream. For those pinning their hopes on a spring heatwave, no better place to soak up some rays than their outdoor drinks spaces including the parade ring lawn &#8211; a private outdoor area for the day overlooking the parade ring with views of the big screen. There&#8217;s other spaces giving all the cool garden party vibes too. Waft about the floral displays, grab a tipple with your gals, and natter the afternoon away.</p>
