Horse racing in England is a timeless tradition that seamlessly blends sport, glamour, and excitement.

Throughout the racing calendar, several prestigious meetings stand out as the epitome of this thrilling equestrian spectacle. From the iconic Cheltenham Festival to the historic Grand National, each event carries its own unique charm and attracts horse racing enthusiasts from around the world. In this blog, we will delve into the highlights of the main horse racing meetings in England, exploring the rich history, the electrifying atmosphere, and the unparalleled benefits of experiencing these events through corporate hospitality.

Aintree Racecourse is known to millions worldwide as the home of the Randox Health Grand National – The World’s Greatest Steeplechase.

In early April each year, the world and its media descend upon Aintree Racecourse for three of the biggest days in the British sporting and social calendar.

The Grand National is a National Hunt horse race held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England. First run in 1839 (won by a horse called Lottery) it is a handicap steeplechase over 4 miles 514 yards (6.907 km) with horses jumping 30 fences over two laps. It is the most valuable jump race in Europe and is an event that is prominent in British culture.

The course over which the race is run features much larger fences than those found on conventional National Hunt tracks. Many of these, particularly Becher’s Brook, The Chair and the Canal Turn, have become famous in their own right and, combined with the distance of the event, create what has been called “the ultimate test of horse and rider”.

No matter whether you’re a seasoned racing fan who travels the country following your favourite horses, or someone who tunes in on TV just once a year, the Grand National is the race the world stops to watch.

The new Formula One season is nearly upon us. It doesn’t seem that long ago that Max Verstappen overtook Lewis Hamilton on the final lap in Abu Dhabi to win his first F1 title. Verstappen and Hamilton will surely be the focus again this season, but both McLaren and Ferrari will be worth keeping an eye on as they look to close the gap.

A 23-race calendar begins in Bahrain on 18^th March and also sees the return of hosts Canada, Japan and Australia who return to the schedule after missing out on the last two seasons due to Covid-19.
