HAT HIRE AT ROYAL ASCOT
The ONLY Ladies Hat Hire in Ascot. For the Royal Ascot Races we have the Pick Up and return on the Day service. This service has proven hugely popular since Royal Ascot introduced the "STYLE GUIDE" in 2012, requiring all visitors to the Royal Enclosure, Queen Anne Enclosure, or Village Enclosure to wear suitable headwear for the races.
Year Round - Other Events
All of our Hats and Headpieces are also available outside of Royal Ascot week for other events like Cheltenham, Henley, Aintree, Glorious Goodwood, Epsom Races, Mother of the Bride / Groom, Kings Garden Parties, or any other event you need a Hat for. Hats can be hired using our Mail Order service, or by coming to view / collect by Appointment only. Tel: 01344 891755

In the Press
“Guess what's just opened in Ascot? Our first hat shop. For crying out loud, how come no one's thought to do this before? More behatted heads than anywhere else in the world descend upon Ascot for five days every year and ladies of a certain disposition will always be prone to an additional purchase. It's so blindingly obvious, it's almost annoying. It just proves that a lot of the time you can make hard work out of looking for the next best thing when it might be right under your nose all the time. Helmet shop in Silverstone, anyone? Or if you really want to make a killing, a pasty and tea shop combined - and as close to my front door as possible.“
“My wife has never been that fond of hats, so that's something she's had to go out and find, and I think she's chosen very well.“
