It's the time and place to dress up in your best to see the finest fillies competing in the feature race, the Investec Oaks.

Investec Derby Day
Sat 4 June 2011
The Investec Derby Festival dates back to 1780 and has developed into Britain's biggest day out featuring the world's greatest flat race. The winning owner receives a staggering £1.25m. It remains the race that everyone wants to win, as horses and riders push themselves to the limit around the unique and challenging course. The race boasts an unrivalled roll of honour, from legendary names such as Seabird, Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Shergar, right up to the 2010 winner, Workforce, who broke the Epsom Downs track record last year.
With approximately 30 minutes between each race, the afternoon is pitched at the perfect tempo, so you and your guests can relax and mingle, while sampling top class sporting action. Everyone ends the day with a smile.
We have a range of both shared and private packages, but we are happy to arrange something more bespoke for you and your clients.
