The Grand National meeting is steeped in history and tradition and combines top quality horseracing with style and fashion throughout the three days. You could be a part of the excitement of the Grand National meeting by working in one of our many hospitality suites.
Aintree racecourse is now enjoying its most successful period in modern times. While many courses rely on subsidies, the Aintree management is very much commercially minded and on non-racedays the new Queen Mother stand, opened by Her Majesty in 1991, hosts wedding receptions, conferences and exhibitions.
Letheby & Christopher operate all kinds of bars, restaurants and kiosks at Aintree Racecourse throughout the season.
