The Grand National is a spectacle of colour for all three days of the festival, with many using their trip as an opportunity to showcase their favourite raceday looks.
For VIP hospitality at the Grand National, we recommend men wear a blazer or suit with a shirt and tie, and women wear elegant dresses or tailored separates. Additionally, hats and fascinators are a popular choice of accessories for the event. For Ladies’ Day (9th of April), we recommend women wear standout dresses with statement fascinators.
Please note:
Fancy dress: avoid inappropriate or offensive outfits, as anything deemed vulgar or derogatory may be refused entry.
Sportswear: avoid wearing team colours/sports kits.
