Aintree and Ascot may be the most famous, but there are a host of equally fun and fabulous Races happening all around the country, each with their own personality and style. A great excuse to dress up and enjoy the British weather, here are Team LBD's guide on where to go, and what to wear.

Royal Ascot

When: 17^th June Р21st June; Ascot Ladies Day 19th June Where: In Berkshire What: The one and only racing event where you're guaranteed to be socialising with the Queen, Ascot is the royal event to be seen at.
