The VIP Bar is an inexpensive way to get on course for the Grand National festival whilst enjoying a complimentary bar and having a base for the day.

There is no food provided but, the Festival Zone Food Court is just a short walk away, where guests can purchase food throughout the day.

This package can be brought on its own but goes well with hotel accommodation and transport, which the official provider is willing to arrange.

VIP Bar Hospitality Critic Review

Introduction

The VIP Bar is not strictly a hospitality facility but more of a base-for-the-day with casual seating and a private bar.

Location

The VIP Bar is situated on the ground floor of the Lord Sefton Stand. The Lord Sefton Stand (together with the Earl of Derby) is the newest Grandstand at Aintree with modern facilities. The Stand is located next to the horse walk, where the horses make their way to the course from the Parade Ring.

Facility/Décor

The facility features a private bar for guests and casual seating.

Private Tables

You cannot reserve tables in this facility. It is informal seating on a first-come basis.

Admission

The package comes with a Lord Sefton Terrace admission, from where you can watch the racing from the raised steps or the rails. The Grandstand is situated looking towards the start of the Grand National and back towards the finishing straight. The Terrace is conveniently situated close to the VIP Bar.

Catering

There is no catering included with this package.
