During Royal Ascot 2020, the racecourse is organising activities to supplement the televised racing in this Ascot behind closed doors.
Many activities have a fundraising element in support of Ascot’s own fundraising campaign in aid of those affected by COVID-19.
Francesca Cumani of ITV Racing & her stylist Sarah Kate Byrne are thrilled to launch their Royal Ascot 2020 raffle prize draw! For just £10 you can buy a ticket for the raffle to be drawn on 30th June 2020.
Their charity initiative is in support of two charities: JAMES’ PLACE, a cause close to both Sarah and Francesca; and KCAT CAMPHILL CALLAN a cause close to Sarah’s heart.
With the extremely generous support of the five milliners Francesca wears during Royal Ascot 2020, Francesca’s five different looks from each of the five days’ racing will be raffled off. Sarah has donated the five dresses and each of the five milliners have donated their headpieces. Raffle draw winners will also receive a signed photograph from Francesca.
Two bonus prizes for the 6th and 7th tickets drawn have been kindly donated by jeweller Annoushka and shoe designer Emmy London, brands Francesca will be wearing each day of the meeting to complement the clothing and millinery choices of her stylist Sarah. They are thrilled to be showcasing British brands and small businesses as well as sustainable fashion with the chosen looks.

Karen can usually be found glued to her computer or at the stables. Having edited several national magazines she co-founded Eclipse Magazine in 2008 after realising that many of her friends were nervous about going racing due to lack of information – what to wear, how to bet etc.
She absolutely loves her job (how many people can say that?!) and is truly grateful to all supporters of and contributors to Eclipse Magazine.
If you are reading this she would like to say THANK YOU! (And please spread the word about Eclipse…!!)
