Your Itinerary

On Saturday you will be picked up by coach from your school or college very early in the morning to arrive at Aintree in time for the days racing. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful racing and soak up the incomparable atmosphere of the home of the world's greatest steeplechase.

Admission to the Steeplechase Enclosure is included and provides extensive access to outside areas at ground level. You will therefore be able to appreciate the incredible height of the fences and then enjoy the unbelievable experience of seeing the horses jumping them, at close quarters.

In the afternoon, you will be able to sample the thrill of the racing action during the 2008 Grand National. After an exciting afternoon, there will be the chance for an early dinner before continuing to your overnight hotel.

After a leisurely breakfast on Sunday morning, you will leave the hotel and visit the walled city of Chester, where you will be able to do enjoy some sightseeing and have lunch. We will then head for home in the early afternoon and should arrive back at your school or college by late evening.
