The event, in association with the 北京赛车pk10 for Real Ale (CAMRA) and Fuller’s, will feature top quality racing, including Europe’s highest rated mile race the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Visitors will also be able to take part in a nine-dart challenge with former world champions, Eric Bristow and Keith Deller, for the chance to win a range of prizes.

"The Ascot Beer Festival continues to go from strength to strength. Since its inception, we have gone from selling 6,500 pints in 2007 to a whopping 21,000 pints in 2009. To meet demand, we have increased the choice of real ales, ciders and perries available to racegoers by over a third," said Ascot Racecourse head of sales and marketing John Blake.

"This is an excellent opportunity for us to introduce the enormous variety of real ales available from independent brewers to an audience who wouldn’t usually attend a beer festival," added CAMRA festival organiser Mike Smith.
