Hat Hire FAQs

Our standard hat hire period is one week, giving you time around your event to receive/collect your hat and return it without having to rush. If there is anything unusual about the date or timings, clients can contact me before booking.

You have two options:
Studio collection – collect by appointment from Sarah Ross Millinery in Oxshott, Surrey.
Nationwide delivery – hats can be carefully packed in one of our hat boxes and sent throughout the UK using Royal Mail Special Delivery.

The hat should be securely repacked in the same hat box and packaging it arrived in and returned at the end of the agreed one-week hire period.
Clear return instructions will be included/provided with the hire.
It is important that you keep the box and packaging because the hat needs to come back protected.

Yes. Clients who are local or prefer to visit can collect and return their hat from my Oxshott studio by arrangement.

Absolutely. Clients are very welcome to book a private studio appointment in Oxshott and bring their outfit with them.

I can help with colour, proportion, positioning and choosing a shape that works with both the outfit and the person wearing it.

For clients who live further away, they can browse the collection online and contact me for advice. They can send photographs of their outfit if they would like help choosing between designs.

As soon as you know your event date, particularly for Royal Ascot, Derby week, racing events and the main spring/summer wedding season.

Popular colours and designs can be reserved well in advance.

Last-minute enquiries are always welcome and, subject to availability, hats can often be arranged at short notice.

Yes. You can send photographs of their dress/outfit and I can suggest suitable colours, shapes and designs from the collection.

If you come to the studio, you can bring your outfit with you and try different options.

Because each hat can only be hired to one client at a time, occasionally a particular design will already be booked.

If that happens, I can suggest similar hats, alternative shapes or other designs in the same colour family. With such a large collection, there is usually another option.

For clients who want something more specific, I also offer bespoke hire, where a hat can be made or adapted especially to work with their outfit.

No. First, you submit an availability enquiry. I check that the hat is available for your event date and then send a secure payment link. The booking is only confirmed once payment has been received.

Once availability has been confirmed, I’ll send you a secure online payment link.

No separate damage deposit is required. When booking your hat, you’ll be asked to agree to our hire terms and conditions. You are responsible for the hat while it is in your care, and charges may apply in the unlikely event that it is lost or significantly damaged.

We understand that minor signs of wear can happen during a hire. However, if a hat is lost or returned with significant damage beyond normal wear, you may be charged for the cost of repair or replacement. If anything happens while the hat is in your care, please contact us as soon as possible and I’ll do my best to help.

Royal Ascot is our busiest week of the year and many of our most popular hats are reserved well in advance.

Advance Royal Ascot hire bookings are available for collection and return from our Oxshott studio only. Due to the exceptionally high volume of bookings and quick turnaround between race days, our usual nationwide postal hire service is not available for advance Ascot bookings.

Approximately one week before Royal Ascot, we release a selection of hats that are still available for the meeting. These may be available for nationwide Special Delivery, subject to the race day and sufficient delivery time, or collection from our Oxshott studio.

Still deciding what to wear? Last-minute enquiries are always welcome.

Hats and headpieces available to purchase can still be ordered for nationwide delivery throughout the Royal Ascot period, subject to availability and delivery times.
