DESCRIPTION:(Please click image or title for more information) \n  \nRoyal Ascot is just around the corner\, and Berkshire’s Big Red Bus Company is ready to whisk you aboard one of our iconic open-top buses so you can really have a day to remember. \nOn Tuesday 18th June 2024\, we will be making our way to the beautiful race course that is Ascot. \n—- \nFor £55 per person (for groups of 6 of more there is a £5 per person discount)\, here’s what you can expect: \n  \n\nConvenient Pick-Up Points: Our first pick-up point will be from the Angel Bar in Caversham (09:45)\, followed by Reading Train Station (10:00)\, and then Woodley/Sonning (10:15)\, before heading to Royal Ascot.\nBubbly Welcome: As soon as you step on board\, you’ll be greeted with a glass of bubbly to kick off the festivities.\nPrime Parking: We’ll be parking at coach park 8C inside the racecourse itself\, offering you a fantastic view of the course and races. Plus\, it’s just a short walk to the enclosures\, ensuring you don’t miss any of the action.\nTicket Information: The package includes transportation to and from Royal Ascot\, along with a couple of glasses of bubbly on the way there. However\, please note that entry to the Royal Ascot enclosures is not included.\nEnclosure Options: For those yet to purchase enclosure tickets\, consider the Heath enclosure for a cost-effective option. Located right next to coach park 8C\, it offers a relaxed atmosphere and basic amenities\, including toilets\, bars\, and bookmakers. Entry is typically around £10 (TBA for this year)\, payable on the day. No matter which enclosure you purchase your tickets for\,  you will only be a 3 to 4 minute walk from the bus\, due the fantastic location we have secured.\nDress Code: There’s no formal dress code for the Heath enclosure\, but smart attire is encouraged. Please avoid fancy dress\, novelty clothing\, or bare chests.\nPicnic Options: Feel free to bring your own picnic. Folded picnic chairs and blankets are permitted in the Heath Enclosure\, and picnics can be carried in hampers or cool boxes. If you prefer not to carry your picnic\, you’re welcome to leave it on the bus and enjoy it there before entering the enclosure. Please check the Royal Ascot website for their food and alcohol policy.\nAt the end of the day the bus will leave Royal Ascot\, 45 minutes after the last race.\nPackage Price: All of this comes at a great value of £55 per person.\n\nIf you’re interested in joining us\, let us know as soon as possible along with your group size.

So once again at Berkshire’s Big Red Bus Company we have planned a day out in our classic Red London Routemaster buses from Reading\, to go to the German style Christmas Market in Winchester (https://www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk/christmas/ )\, on Saturday 16th December 2023. There will be loads of festive\, goods\, drinks and food stalls\, etc etc \nWe will depart Reading\, TBC but expected about 12:30\, main pick up point Reading train station (other points Woodley & Earley before)\, so hopefully no one has to drive. After that departing to Winchester for their famous Christmas Market for the day. En route\, there will be an option of a complementary drink – bubbly\, mulled wine and other soft drinks plus a few snacks to get your day started. Plus the usual cheesy Christmas music !! \nOnce at the Christmas Market\, we can all go off and have fun for the day\, together or on your own. \nThen in the evening we will depart for home at 18:30. \nYour trip costs £40/head for adults & £30/head for U18’s (which would cover your return bus journey\, plus complimentary drink and nibbles on the bus). \nYou just need to let us know and how many people in your party. \nWe have only 30 tickets available so book early to secure your seat.

With Berkshire’s Big Red Bus Company DESCRIPTION:After what feels like a long cold winter\, we are now looking forward to Royal Ascot this year in our classic open top bus. \nWe are arranging a trip to Royal Ascot on Tuesday 20th June 2023\, travelling there and back on our historic classic bus. \nThe bus will pick up passengers from Woodley\, Wokingham (and possibly central Reading) at approximately 9.30am/10am (TBC) and will leave Ascot at approx. ½ an hour after the last race. You can relax on the bus whilst we meander our way to Ascot and let the bus driver take the strain of the traffic and parking. You will be greeted with a glass of bubbly and the party will start as soon as you board! \nThe price of the day includes transportation to and from Royal Ascot on our heritage bus\, a couple of glasses of bubbly on the way out\, courtesy of Berkshire’s Big Red Bus Company. However this does not include entry to the Royal Ascot enclosures\, please see below for further details on entry. \nThis year\, we plan to take our Open top classic double decker bus again\, plus we have paid extra and will be parking at coach park 8C which is located inside the race course itself (please see the attached map showing coach park 8C). This means if we get there in good time\, we should get a great view of the course from the bus and the races\, as this coach park is right up against the race course itself along the final straight\, so hopefully with our open top bus we will have our own grandstand. \nNo matter which enclosure you purchase your tickets for\, there you will only be a 3 to 4 minute walk to these areas\, due the fantastic location we have secured. (Ticket options) \nHistorically we have gone to the Heathfield enclosure\, which is situated right next to coach park 8C so about a 30 second walk. This enclosure has a far more relaxed atmosphere and only cost £10 for entry in 2022 (this year’s cost TBA)\, which is paid on the door\, cash to the officials\, so you pay on the day for entry. This enclosure is far more relaxed and more basic. It has the basics of toilets/bars & bookmakers but not a lot else. You are allowed to bring in your own picnics. \nIt will be a great fun day out for all\, a good chance to get dressed up and treat yourself\, which I believe we all deserve after the last few years. \nYou’ll be pleased to know there’s no formal dress code for the Heathfiield enclosure\, it is the same as the Windsor enclosure for dress code\, although racegoers are encouraged to wear smart clothes. Please also note that fancy dress\, novelty\, and branded or promotional clothing is not allowed\, and bare chests are not permitted at any time (see their website). \nYou have the option of taking a picnic if you want to\, but\, please check the website for the picnic policy (which also includes the alcohol policy). Folded picnic chairs and blankets are permitted in the Heathfield Enclosure and so are picnics in picnic hampers or cool box/bags. If you want to eat your picnic within the Heathfield enclosure then you have to take your picnic in with you at the time of entry as food/drink is not permitted to be taken back in on re-entry. However\, if you don’t want the hassle of carrying your picnic around with you then you are more than welcome to leave it on the bus. This would\, however\, mean that you would have to either eat it on board in the coach park or you would be allowed to place your picnic blanket on the ground outside the bus and eat there. We will be taking a small gazebo to put up by the bus so that you can relax in the shade if you wish. \nThe cost for this entire package is £50/person (discount available for bookings of 6 or more). \nIf you are interested please contact us ASAP please\, letting me know your numbers.
