Ladies' Day at the Grand National

Ladies' Day at the 2011 Grand National will be on Friday 8th April, and Merseyrail are encouraging those ladies going racing, to go by train this time.  As Aintree station is just over the road from the famous racecourse there isn't far to walk, and getting to Aintree takes under 20 minutes from Liverpool Central station, is less than an hour from Southport , and is just over an hour from Chester.

Ladies' Day at the Grand National is he chance for many ladies' to look their very best in amazing dresses, and show off new hairstyles and new shoes.  With plans made well in advance and time booked off work, it's not hard to see why Ladies Day is so popular.  

Reckoned to be the most stylish day in the calendar for those in the North West, the Grand National Ladies' Day sees thousands of ladies dressed up and looking their finest to enjoy a day at the races.

The variety of designs and outfits seen at the Grand National on Ladies' Day, range from the understated and elegant to the most colourful and eye catching, as the ladies try to outdo each other in the fashion stakes.  With prizes for the most stylish ladies, it's not surprising that so much effort is made.  If you don’t want to get your outfit crushed in the car, or want to travel with friends, then why not let Merseyrail take you there and back this time?

With many celebs, and other well known people likely to attend on Ladies' Day, you're sure to see someone you recognise.  Many of the best (and worst) dressed are likely to also appear on fashion websites, in magazines and might even make the local news.  If you want to look your best, but don't fancy walking miles to get to Aintree from where you've parked, you don't have to.  If you want to have a drink or two with your meal, or during the day, then you won't want to be driving, so why not get the train, and leave the travel arrangements to Merseyrail instead?

As well as all the people watching, celeb-spotting and goodie bags that goes on at Ladies' Day, there will also be some horseracing to watch.  With the John Smith’s Melling Chase, John Smith’s Sefton Novices’ Hurdle, as well as racing over the actual Grand National course in the John Smith’s Topham Chase.

As tickets are on sale now, it makes sense to buy them today so that you don't miss out on Ladies' Day at the Grand National.  Remember to book your train tickets too with Merseyrail.
