Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton Stand Seats

Open for the first time at the 2007 John Smith’s Grand National meeting, the Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton grandstands were designed to offer first-class viewing facilities for the 21^st century spectator, and both stands fit the brief perfectly.

Each grandstand provides two levels of tiered, covered seating [upper and lower], higher than any other seated enclosure at Aintree and hence provide breathtaking views over the entire course. Both levels permit access to a private saddle bar overlooking the horse-walk tunnel and Parade Ring, ensuring racegoers are in the hub of the day’s excitement.

Set at a unique angle, overlooking the Grand National start and finish, you’re guaranteed you won’t want to leave your seat all day. Both tiers of seats leave you with a 360° impression of the famous course – the place to be to soak up the magic that is Aintree.
