One of the advantages of a large racecourse like York is that you can choose your own race day experience. Guest numbers can range from an intimate party up to a larger group, you pay for the number you bring not the number that a venue dictates. The event is always a great excuse for the gents to dust off the morning suit and the Ladies to run wild with their imaginative choices of dress.

The course also stages three of the UK's 31 Group One races, the International Stakes, the Nunthorpe Stakes and the Yorkshire Oaks.
