They filled those months with balls, races and parties. It wound down around midsummer, and 12 August, the Glorious Twelfth, is remembered as its traditional end. Today the Season is a summer of famous events, like Royal Ascot, Henley and Cowes, and most of them are open to anyone with a ticket and the right clothes.
