×The Sunloch Club is only available on Thursday, the opening day of the Grand National Festival (becoming the Sunloch Restaurant on Friday & Saturday). It is a basic lead-in package that offers guests a great base with balcony views of the racing. The suite is named after the last winner before World War I, the 1914 Grand National winner. This is a popular facility offering a vibrant atmosphere in a large facility that accommodates 500 guests.
The Sunloch Club is situated on the First Floor of the Lord Sefton Stand. From this location, you can enjoy a head-on view of the finishing straight and winning post.
This is a standard function suite with dining on round tables. The balcony stretches the full length of the suite overlooking the start/finish area of the course. There is also a small balcony to the rear of the suite, which overlooks the Parade Ring.
Private tables are available for 10-12 guests, smaller groups will need to share a table.
Premier Course Admission is included.
You will enjoy a 3-course luncheon, followed by traditional Cream Tea.
No drinks are included in this package, it is a cash bar, however, table service is provided.
Service throughout is left to the waiting staff. There is not a hostess service.
There is no guest tipster included in this facility.
There are ample TV monitors (if rather small) positioned in an elevated location around the suite.
Steeplechase car park passes are included on a 1:4 basis. The car park is situated in the centre of the racecourse, so it is a little walk across the course to access the Grandstands.
A Racecard is included, and there are Tote betting facilities available.
