The Grand National takes place at
Aintree, Liverpool, on Saturday 14 April.
At four and half miles with 30 fences
over two laps, a prize fund of £1million
and a TV audience of 10 million, it's the
big one. Usually attracting a field of 40
runners and riders ready to race and
tackle iconic fences like The Chair at over
5 foot, Becher's Brook and Canal Turn, it’s
the race where legends are created and
history is written.
With this famous course as the
backdrop for meetings and events,
inspiring delegates with tales of
fearless determination and triumph is
an each-way win for both organisers
and attendees. There's a choice of five
self-contained grandstands available for
staging a meeting or corporate event
for up to 500 delegates and with acres
of lush green parkland, launching a new
product or challenging the team with
some outdoor competition are perfectly
catered for. Aintree also provides a
dramatic backdrop for receptions and
banquets and with good motorway and
railway networks, the famous course is
easy to reach.
A conference in the grandstand, exhibition
on the concourse or team-building in
the parade ring, it's all possible at Ascot
Racecourse in Berkshire. With close
connections to the British Royal Family
(the course was founded in 1711 by Queen
Ann), Royal Ascot is the centre-piece of the
course's flat and jump year with HM The
Queen, The Prince of Wales and younger
royals all regulars in the royal enclosure.
Also home to Royal Ascot Cricket Club
whose grounds are in the middle of the
racecourse, Ascot was the setting for a
scene in the musical My Fair Lady and has
welcomed the nation's favourite secret
agent to the course in A View to Kill and
Skyfall.
With stunning parkland views across
Windsor Great Park and the Berkshire
countryside, Ascot adds prestige to any
event with its fine facilities and superb
Royal standard service. A choice of over 300
meeting rooms is available to organisers
along with 4,000sqm of exhibition
space in the 27 metre high atrium of the
Grandstand Galleria. Large dining areas
and event spaces for up to 3,000 guests
plus additional areas around the course,
such as the Old Paddock Lawns, Silver
Ring and Parade Ring, provide even more
opportunities for outdoor event space.
