Aintree is home to one of the most talked about, most celebrated and most magical races in the world – the John Smith's Grand National. First run in 1839, the National was won impressively by Mon Mome in 2009. It is strongly advised to book well in advance for this 3-day meeting as many enclosures sell out well in advance.
There is no official dress code although smart is preferable for the Grand National meeting. Ladies Day (Friday) is a spectacle of colour as many people dress up in all of the Enclosures.
