	15/03/2020 to 30/04/2020 ASCOT RACECOURSE - CLOSED UNTIL AT LEAST 30 APRIL To all our racegoers, participants and visitors. As you may have seen the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has announced (17th March) that racing will be suspended until the end of April due to the national coronavirus crisis. All ticket purchasers will be refunded for the relevant race meetings and our hospitality team will contact all customers in that respect directly with options. Quite clearly the pace of the government’s plan to deal with this current pandemic is accelerating rapidly. At this stage we ask for everyone’s patience with regards to updates relating to our subsequent race meetings, including Royal Ascot. We are considering a range of options. It is too early to be definitive or even speculate on how this situation will affect the summer programme.
