Aintree Racecourse & Grand National Transfers From Liverpool & Merseyside

Aintree Racecourse is one of the most famous horse racing venues in the world, home to the Grand National — the world's most famous steeplechase. The three-day Grand National Festival in April attracts over 150,000 visitors from across the UK and overseas, and the race meeting is one of the biggest events in the Liverpool calendar.

The Grand National Festival

The Grand National Festival takes place over three days in early April:

  • Thursday (Randox Day): The opening day of the festival, featuring the Manifesto Novices' Chase and other Grade 1 races
  • Friday (Ladies Day): The most glamorous day of the festival, with the Aintree Hurdle and the Topham Chase
  • Saturday (Grand National Day): The climax of the festival, featuring the Grand National itself — the world's most famous steeplechase

Why book a private transfer to Aintree?

Parking. Aintree Racecourse has limited parking, and the surrounding roads are heavily congested on race days — particularly on Grand National Day. A private transfer drops you at the racecourse entrance and collects you at the agreed time, avoiding the parking search entirely.

Enjoy the day. A race day at Aintree typically involves champagne, hospitality and celebration. A pre-booked private transfer means no one has to stay sober to drive home.

Return journey. After a long day at the races, the last thing you want is to wait for a taxi or navigate public transport. A pre-booked return transfer means your driver is waiting at the agreed collection point at the agreed time.

Collection points and return arrangements

For Grand National Day, road closures and traffic restrictions around Aintree Racecourse affect return collection points. Atlantic Prestige Travel will advise on the best collection point for your return journey based on the current restrictions.
