Aintree Racecourse set for new facilities for 2020 Randox Health Grand National Festival

Aintree Racecourse is set to get a makeover this year with plans for new and refurbished facilities for the 2020 Randox Health Grand National Festival.

The new plans, released by The Jockey Club, include first-class developments to the Red Rum Garden and Queen Mother Lawn which will feature a double tier private facility.

The Garden Club offers a unique experience with an exclusive first-floor bar and views of the Parade Ring, including a private balcony.

Located behind the Queen Mother Grandstand and next to the Red Rum Garden, racegoers will be able to enjoy a premium facility in the heart of the action and experience the unique atmosphere that makes the Grand National Festival so special.

Tickets to the Garden Club are on sale now and prices start from £60 on Liverpool’s Day (Thursday, April 2), £95 on Ladies Day (Friday, April 3) and £120 on Grand National Day (Saturday, April 4).

The facility includes live entertainment, betting facilities and big screen viewing. Garden Club racegoers will also have full access to the Festival Zone for racing, facilities and live entertainment after racing on both the Thursday and Friday.

John Baker, managing director at Aintree Racecourse, said: “The Randox Health Grand National Festival continues to go from strength to strength and, we’re excited by the new developments we have invested in this year. Our Festival Zone and Grandstands sell out each year, so we can only build upwards on the footprint of our site to offer our racegoers premium facilities.

“We never stand still at Aintree and, with improvements to the Red Rum Garden and Queen Mother Grandstand, customers can continue to expect the very best experience when visiting Aintree Racecourse for the Randox Health Grand National Festival.

“In addition to the developments to the Red Rum and Queen Mother Lawn, the Queen Mother Grandstand has undergone a £500,000 refurbishment including a new private bar, refurbished toilets and improved seating. Click here to preview the latest refurbishments.”

The three-day festival begins on Thursday, April 2 and the Grand National itself is now nine weeks away.
