HUNGRY racegoers seeking sustenance during Royal Ascot will be able to drop in to church for some divine inspiration.

St Edward the Confessor, in Dringhouses, is welcoming racegoers during the festival with a selection of bacon sandwiches, scones and drinks.

Members of the church, located close to Knavesmire, in Tadcaster Road, will provide visitors with refreshments while the inside of the church will be decorated with flowers and racing memorabilia.

There will also be an area for quiet reflection and punters can park next to the church for £10.
