The Ayr Gold Cup Festival is a 3-day flat racing meeting for thoroughbred horses held annually in September at Ayr Racecourse in Ayr, Scotland, UK.
The 3 days consist of Opening Day, Ladies Day – where racegoers of all genders are welcome and encouraged to dress to impress – and the climax of Ayr Gold Cup Day. The final day sees the running of the feature race, the Ayr Gold Cup which was first established in 1804 when it was originally restricted to horses bred and trained in Scotland but has since opened up to the world’s finest thoroughbreds. The meeting attracts people looking for a fun and thrilling day out where donning your glad rags is recommended.
