Celebrities attending the Epsom Derby meeting

William Dobbie Published: 17 hours ago

The 2026 Derby Festival gets underway on Friday 5th June.

One of the UK's most iconic sporting events, the two-day Flat racing spectacle kicks off in style, headlined by the Oaks.

Efforts to keep the Derby Festival fresh have seen the Group 1 Coronation Cup moved to the Saturday, ensuring a quality-ladened day of action alongside the feature Derby.

Epsom, and specifically the Derby, has always been a race that has attracted Royal interest. During her 70-year reign on the British throne, Queen Elizabeth II missed the race just twice and King Charles III and Queen Camilla will continue that tradition by attending the action this weekend.

We take a look at some famous faces expected to make the trip to Epsom Downs...
