This year, the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards organised and ran the Household Division Enclosure for the Oaks & Derby Day 2004.  The event was a tremendous success, one lucky winner of the "Derby Day Give Away" won an MGF Sportscar!



 

THE OAKS DAY:

The Oaks Day was held on Friday the 4th Jun 2004, this was a corporate event, and an ideal opportunity for Companies to host their Client Base.  There were many guests to this event proving to be a tremendous day.


THE DERBY DAY:

The Derby Day was held on Saturday the 5th June 2004. This event was open to everyone.  The Household Division Marquee hosted many guests from all areas of the British Army, all had a glorious day, and there was much positive feedback received.

OAKS & DERBY DAY 2004 - EPSOM RACECOURSE SURREY


INTRODUCTION

1. By special decree of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Sergeants’ Mess of the Household
Division (The Guardsmen and Troopers seen on State occasions and Palace Guard) has been granted an enclosure at Epsom Downs Race Course for private use on Derby Day since 1857. The site called “The Hill” is situated within the race circuit opposite the main Grand stand, commanding a magnificent view of the whole course.

The fenced enclosure will be transformed for the event into a marquee’d bar and restaurant guarded by members of the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards in State Ceremonial uniform.

The Derby day provides the Household Division the opportunity to entertain other Regiments of the British Army, however the day preceding Derby Day, The Oaks day, will be set aside for exclusive corporations to entertain their own guests.


FACILITIES

2. “The Hill” offers guests the opportunity to dine in a restaurant or experience a buffet with food presented by some of the British Army’s finest chefs, and to entertain in an extremely competitively priced 40ft bar. There is no necessity to venture outside the complex as television displays are situated within the bar area enabling guests to watch all the races. To ease matters further we even supply book makers on site with their own favourable odds.
“The Hill” also offers limited private, guarded parking for vehicles up to coach size.


PRICE GUIDE for 2004 (these prices were from 2004 and may be subject to change)

3. To enable future planning, the tickets for entrance to “The Hill” for the Oaks are priced at £10 per person with the option of lunch at a further £15 per head. Vehicle parking is Coach £100, Minibus £50 and cars £20 each.



SUMMARY

4. In the past Companies have taken this opportunity to host their client base in salubrious surroundings, without the inconveniences experienced in the main stand or other areas. “The Hill” offers a guest the best all round view of the complete race course from the stalls to the finish including Tattenham Corner.
