King George Weekend at Ascot

About One of Ascot’s greatest occasions, King George Weekend presents a sparkling midsummer cocktail of style, socialising and world-class racing. The racecourse is in full bloom and the atmosphere is electric with top-quality action on the track. Off the track, the racecourse is a whirlwind of colour and laughter as racegoers don summer occasionwear, catch up with friends and sample the many bars and eateries on offer under the summer sun. Welcome to a world where sport and style collide. Where spectators don their finest summer attire, soak up the sensational atmosphere, and socialise against a backdrop of sumptuous scenery. All while marvelling at the majestic action on the racetrack. Here, Europe’s finest middle-distance horses gather to showcase their extraordinary talents and compete for one prestigious prize. And no race sets hearts pounding with anticipation quite like the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Beyond the racing, guests revel in camaraderie while indulging in the finest food and basking in the midsummer sunshine. Book tickets for the King George Weekend here.

St Mark's Communion

Whilst essential maintenance work is undertaken, services are temporarily being held in the nearby Seminar Room 1, also located on the St Mark’s hospital site. Directions to Seminar Room 1 will be on the church door. On the forth Sunday of the month, at 11am we hold a traditional service of Holy Communion, with hymns, prayers, and a short talk, providing a reflective and contemplative space to meet with God, at St Mark’s Church situated within the grounds of the hospital. For more information, please contact the office (details in link below). This event will be Covid-secure with processes in place to look after us all. Recent changes in government guidance mean that the wearing of face masks is now optional. If you want to wear a face mask, we want you to feel completely comfortable in doing so - but it is no longer a requirement. We want to make Sundays as comfortable as possible for everyone.

More about Dorney

Buckinghamshire, England

Dorney sits quietly in Buckinghamshire where the river winds past and there's always a local market stall to pop into if you need a coffee break. We know that even on a rainy Tuesday someone is running a craft workshop or hosting a quiz night at one of the village halls nearby. It's not about how many gigs are playing but rather the fact that there's a community gathering somewhere within shouting distance. Near Here keeps track of those little events so you don't have to stand in the rain checking flyers under the streetlamp.
