Sport Breaks - The Grand National

The Grand National by Coach

Join us as we visit The Grand National, one of the biggest and most exciting sporting events in the UK. 

Held each year at the iconic Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, this popular event is a national institution which attracts spectators from all over the world.  

So, what makes The Grand National so special?In the 1800s, this race was known as The Grand Liverpool Steeplechase and featured horses jumping over a stone wall, crossing a stretch of ploughed land and finishing over two hurdles.  For the first four years, it was a simple weight-for-age race but in 1843 Edward William Topham turned the Grand National into what we know as a handicap race. 

This handicap system makes The Grand National so exciting and unpredictable, with underdogs and long shots, often surprising even the most seasoned of racegoers.   

Enjoy a Grand National short break and be part of the crowd as the tape goes up, the excitement begins, and the adrenaline starts pumping. After 16 fences, two miles and one furlong, you’ll know if you’re a winner. 

Our short breaks include coach travel with reserved seating, hotel accommodation with dinner, bed and breakfast, and tickets for The Grand National.  

Soak up the wonderful atmosphere of this exciting event and create unforgettable memories.
