Between the beautiful hills, the friendly vibe of the racecourse and the breathtaking action right in front of you, this will be the best day out all summer! Cartmel really comes alive for the races, and we have a lineup of things to really make your day pop, so put on your best clothes and bring your best energy for an incredible day at the races. All that effort won’t be wasted either – throughout the day, there’ll be prizes up for grabs for the most eyecatching outfits:
Best Dressed Lady
From fabulous florals to festival chic, we want to see your best race day look, Cartmel style!
Best Dressed Gentleman
Dashing and dapper gents, we haven’t forgotten about you…
Best Turned-out Dog
The prestigious award for the most dapper canine at Cartmel. Think bow-ties, bandanas, and tail-wagging style!
The Countryside Chic Award
Channel your inner countryside icon with tweeds, boots, and of course, the British summertime staple.. wellies!
Most Colourful Outfit
Come rain or shine, sunglasses at the ready – we want to see COLOUR! So get ready to light-up the lakes with your best and brightest outfits.
The Sustainable Style Award
Show us your upcycled, thrifted, rented, or reimagined fashion – sustainability never looked so good.

Our unique racecourse always has a welcoming festival atmosphere, but Ladies Day turns it up as far as it can go! You can opt for our stunning Louis Roederer restaurant packages, for incredible food and a birds-eye view of the course, or mingle with the crowds and enjoy the fantastic array of vendors. You can even bring your own champagne picnic to enjoy in the sunshine, with tables and benches available for rent. Perfect for a group!
Tickets are still available, but are selling fast. We’d like to cordially invite you and all your friends to the party, for fun, fizz and the thrill of the races. Bring your girls and enjoy the best day out of the year, with the unique experience that only Cartmel can give.
