WIN tickets for Liverpool Day at John Smith’s Grand National meeting in our exciting competition.
We are offering two pairs of County Roof stand tickets, each worth £76, plus four pairs of Tattersall enclosure tickets, each worth £38, for Thursday, April 8.
The Tattersall enclosure is the largest and most atmospheric, offering access to the parade ring and winner’s enclosure.
Visitors here also have access to the style bars in the Red Rum garden, live music in the Aintree Pavilion, and viewing from the Aintree Mound.
More than 150,000 people are expected to flock to Aintree Racecourse for the three day meeting.
For the first time, Thursday has been titled Liverpool Day with Liverpool-inspired entertainment, sport and music.
Friday is Ladies Day with raceday fashions, and the world’s most celebrated steeplechase is on Saturday.
Forty horses are lined up this year to tackle the four-and-a-half mile course and 30 fences.
Julian Thick, managing director of Aintree, said: “Aintree delivers a unique spectator experience and we would urge anyone keen to enjoy the magic of the meeting to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.”
Tickets are available online at www.aintree.co.uk or by calling 0844 579 3001.
