9 things I wish I'd known before going to Royal Ascot

Royal Ascot collage.

My first time attending Ladies Day at Royal Ascot did not disappoint. It was the ideal day – sun was shining, trains were running on time, I'd had multiple compliments on my dress within 10 minutes of leaving the house, and soon joined many other well-dressed ladies and gents, all excitedly bound for a day at the races.

I couldn't have asked for a better first experience, particularly from a weather point-of-view – I would highly recommend it as the most fun day to spend with friends and family. But while it was an ideal day, there were a few things, had I known before going, that would have made it a little less stressful and all the more enjoyable – all of which I've shared below in the hope it helps anyone planning a visit.
