Celebrate Christmas at Aintree Racecourse

Aintree Racecourse is hosting its Celebrate Christmas event on Saturday 5 December, one of the early dates in the city's festive calendar. It's a Christmas celebration run by the same team that puts on the Randox Grand National Festival, so the whole thing is handled by the same crew that manages the course's biggest racing days.

If you've only ever been to Aintree for the racing, the venue works quite differently when it's not a race day. It's a versatile events space with both indoor and outdoor hire options, function rooms that hold up to 600 people, and 3,700 square metres of hard-standing exhibition space. There's also free parking for 1,800 cars, which makes it an easy one to get to without worrying about where you'll leave the car.

This isn't the only festive thing they've got on the go, either. The Jockey Club programmes other Christmas events at the course throughout the season, like 'Apres Ski: A Jockey Club Christmas', so if you're looking for more than one night out, there's a bit of a run of them. This one falls on a Saturday, which keeps it simple for a group booking.

Tickets start from £69.00, and since it's on a Saturday in early December, it's worth getting your numbers sorted early. The event is at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool on Saturday 5 December.
