Let it never be said that Geordie girls don’t have an eye for fashion and anyone who had any doubt that was the case, needed to be at Northumberland Plate Day on Saturday, as the ladies put on a serious show with their style.
As well as been a huge date in the horse racing diary every single year, Plate Day is also one of the biggest events in Newcastle’s social calendar. A chance to pop open the prosecco nice and early, dress to the nines and head out for day (and perhaps night!) of drinking, socialising and having a thoroughly good time.
While all eyes were on the track at Newcastle Racecourse, in time for the day’s racing programme to get going just after 1.30pm, our lens was also very much on some of the very stylish racegoers who were having a flutter this year. There were plenty of outfits that demanded attention, whether it be dresses with bright and bold prints or dazzling embellishments, or unmissable hats and fascinators.

Any one hoping for top notch fashion at Plate Day 2024 had their expectations thoroughly met, as a vast array of stunning outfits strutted around the course all afternoon, whether it be as their owners rushed to place a last minute bet or get their fizz topped up.
The well dressed ladies of Plate Day 2024 donned both designer brands and high street chic to let their fashion do the talking on Saturday, with some in custom made outfits and accessories created especially for the occasion. Check out our pictures of some of the cream of the Plate Day fashion crop.
