The Spectator at The Betfred Derby Festival | Friday 5 June, from 11.30 | Epsom

Join The Spectator at Epsom for the opening day of the Betfred Derby Festival. We’ll start with a fine picnic at the racecourse before The Spectator’s Turf columnist and former trainer Charlie Brooks and Spectator writer Rupert Hawksley take us through the race card — and hopefully identify a few winners. Then it’s off to the Queen Elizabeth II stand for the action, including the Group 1 Oaks and more drinks at the private trackside bar. Your ticket offers full access to the parade ring, as well as prime views of the finish line and the winners’ enclosure. Ladies Day at Epsom is one of the highlights of the racing calendar, so come and experience it for yourself with The Spectator.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

A relaxed and informal delicious picnic lunch and tea in the new and exclusive Derby Stables area with free-flowing English fizz, wine and soft drinks. Dietaries will be taken into account

Live band

Tickets to QEII stand including access to private trackside pay bar, just a short walk from our picnic area.
