Inside the VIP stands where the celebrities go at Aintree Racecourse for the Grand National

The Grand National Festival is one of the UK’s most spectacular sporting events, offering three days of superb racing and hospitality at Aintree racecourse.

While many people enjoy the racing from the ground, or the Tattersalls, there are a variety of other options available, from the lively Hall of Fame to the breath-taking panoramic views in the Princess Royal Restaurant.

But there's only one place the celebrities and VIPs will be heading at Aintree racecourse and that’s the Pavilion Executive Boxes.

Each private box allows racegoers to watch the Grand National unfold from their own balcony.

From the moment VIP guests arrive on course, to when they leave, they are treated to only the best hospitality.

Guests get private course admission and parking, a champagne and canapé reception, a four course lunch (served with wine), and a champagne afternoon tea.

In between the food, they also have access to a full complimentary bar.

The boxes are available in a variety of sizes, accommodating from 16 to 72 guests.

In the past, celebrities such as Paddy and Christine McGuinness, Jack Whitehall, Conor McGregor and Jason Manford have had the VIP experience at Aintree.

However, it is open to anybody. For more information, visit www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/aintree/hospitality
