FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR
A glorious day out at one of the highlight events of the British Summer. Kelly has now taken me to two traditional sporting events - Ascot and Henley. Both were thoroughly researched, well thought out and planned, with a few lessons in the history, etiquette and traditions thrown in. Thank you for two great days Kelly. -Liza
'Fantastic experience! and Kelly is an amazing organiser and host! would love to do it again next year!'- Ksenia
DRESS
No formal dress code applies although many people enjoy entering into the spirit of the occasion by dressing up. The dress is similar to Royal Ascot, ‘posh’ summer wedding wear or garden party.
TICKET TO THE RACES
Your ticket to see the races are included in this package price. This is a ticket for the "Enclosures" or viewing areas for watching the race and is valued at £20. Since the Regatta owns most of the riverbank and parking area on the Oxfordshire side and some of it on the opposite Buckinghamshire side, it is essential to buy tickets.
The Enclosure contains a licensed bar and has excellent catering facilities with plenty of choice.
TRANSPORT
We will be driven to the Regatta via minibus. As Henley is West of London, the pickup point will be Shepherd’s Bush at 10AM. We’re return to London around 8PM. The coach will stop at Shepherd’s Bush and Embankment.
Feedback from last year's Royal Ascot Tastour
"It was the most British day I've had since moving here a year ago. I saw the queen and won a little cash and got totally swept up in the people watching. ” Lisa
"A mammoth feat of organisation by Kelly made for a great day out - thanks!" Amber
Note from the organiser
I realise that this is a large amount of money to commit, especially if you are new to the group. All those who attended last year would testify, it's worth every penny! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to phone me. -Kelly 0791 905 3064 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0791 905 3064 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or email info@tastour.co.uk
