ASCOT is coming to Newport this month with Gwent's very own Ladies Day.

A Royal Ascot Ladies Day will take place at the Holiday Inn on June 16 in aid of St Anne's Hospice.

The Newport hotel is hosting the day which includes a Bucks Fizz reception followed by live coverage of the races on large screens.

The day includes entertainment before the racing, a three course lunch and afternoon tea and biscuits.

A Master of Ceremonies will take charge of the day and guests can even place their bets on any of the races with an on site sweepstake bookmaker.

A gold cup runner owner's draw which will include cash prizes will also take place during the day.

Staff at the family run business Suit U in Newport have already been preparing for the big day and recently supported the hospice with an organised fashion show.

Tickets for the Ladies Day cost £35 and are available from St Anne’s on 01633 820283.
