Witness exhilarating fixtures at Aintree Racecourse

Horseracing has been held at Aintree Racecourse since the early 19th century, with the steeplechase formally introduced in 1836. As the home of the Grand National, the name of the course is well known across Britain and beyond, and strikes fear into the heart of any professional jockey. With infamous obstacles such as Becher's Brook, The Chair and Foinavon, the sixteen-fence race is demanding in terms of technique, stamina and speed, and thus incredibly exciting for spectators to watch. Attendance at Aintree Racecourse during the Grand National weekend in April is always incredibly high, and the atmosphere absolutely electrifying on the all-important Saturday. Yet other meetings such as the Becher Chase Day or the Aintree Community Race Day are also incredibly popular, and give you the chance to see exciting races without quite the same amount of tension in the air. Coming out of season? Tickets for Aintree Racecourse include unique concerts, festivals and even the opportunity to play a round of golf on the famous course.
