In July, the focus for the Berkshire track is their QIPCO King George Diamond Weekend and the headline attraction, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. The action is held across two days, a Friday and a Saturday. This year the dates are Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July 2025.

Official Dress Code for the King Edward VII Enclosure & Hospitality areas.

Guests are required to dress for a smart summer occasion. Gentlemen must wear tailored trousers with a jacket, collared shirt and tie. Trainers are not allowed. Fancy dress, novelty attire and sportswear are also not permitted.

We Say… Although a blazer and chinos are acceptable, most gentlemen go all the sartorial way wearing a suit and tie. However don’t cloud your summer day with a dull dark suit, go light or bright to stylishly stand out from the crowd.
