Champions of the Turf: The Grand National Adventure

Regional departure by coach, then enjoy a direct journey to the North West for a two-night stay.

Four miles, 514 yards, 30 fences, 40 jockeys and horses, but only one winner! Experience the thrill of one of the most famous horse races in the world – the Grand National is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

We offer two types of ticket, Festival Zone and Embankment, so you can choose the experience that's right for you:

Festival Zone offers access to watch the world-class racing and enjoy fantastic live music and entertainment. There's plenty of food and drink outlets, and the opportunity to see the horses around the Aintree Parade Ring. You can also enjoy viewing access of the Parade Ring and Winners' Enclose.

The Embankment offers prime viewing of the first fences of the Grand National course. This also includes bars and catering facilities, big-screen viewing, live entertainment, betting facilities, and unreserved seating. It’s perfect for a more relaxed Grand National experience with a casual dress code – although you can still dress to impress if you like!

This exciting event is known for its challenging course, with horses and jockeys taking on tough fences and long distances, making it a true test of skill and endurance. The atmosphere at the Grand National is electric, with crowds gathering to cheer on their favourites and enjoy the thrill of the race. Going to the Grand National offers a wonderful day out, where you can experience the excitement of live horse racing and be part of a historic sporting event.

It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the lively atmosphere, see world-class horses and jockeys in action, and take in the tradition and excitement that make the Grand National a truly special event in the British sporting calendar.

After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, we depart and and enjoy our direct journey home.
