Grand National Express 2027

Grand National Day falls on Saturday 10 April 2027 at Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool, the third and closing day of the Grand National Festival. Nothing has been released to Prestige Corporate Events for that date. Hospitality is not on sale here, no allocation is held, and there are no packages, no prices, no enquiry form and no checkout on this page, only a waitlist. The Grand National Express is Prestige Corporate Events' own name for a same-day rail journey from London to Aintree for that day, run aboard the British Pullman train and set alongside on-course hospitality as one corporate client-entertainment itinerary. What follows describes the shape of that day and the racecourse itself, so a corporate host knows what the format involves if anything is released. It is background rather than an offer.

What is the Grand National Express?

The Grand National Express is Prestige Corporate Events' name for a corporate race-day itinerary built around the British Pullman, a train of restored vintage Pullman carriages that runs day excursions from London for major sporting occasions, Grand National Day among them. Prestige Corporate Events does not sell seats on that train, and no Aintree hospitality for Saturday 10 April 2027 has been released to it. The format described here sets the rail journey alongside on-course hospitality, so a client group would travel together and one host would run the day, but for 2027 there is nothing to reserve.

The race itself, run at Aintree Racecourse and sponsored as the Randox Grand National, is the headline fixture of the Grand National Festival's third day. The train has run as a Grand National race-day excursion in previous years, leaving London in the morning and returning the same evening. That out-and-back shape is why the format suits a race day without an overnight stay, though nothing of the kind is available through Prestige Corporate Events for 2027.

What the train day has traditionally included

In past years, the British Pullman's Grand National race-day format has included a Bellini reception on board, a formal brunch served during the outward journey, a coach transfer between the train and the racecourse, reserved stand seating at Aintree, and a five-course dinner on the return leg. That is the established format from previous runnings rather than a confirmed 2027 itinerary, and the detail can change from year to year. Nothing for Saturday 10 April 2027 has been released to Prestige Corporate Events, so there is nothing on this page to reserve, price or enquire about.

Where a Bellini reception or dinner wine is part of the day, it is served to guests aged 18 and over only, and ID may be requested under a Challenge 25 policy.

Who a Grand National Express day suits

A day of this shape suits corporate hosts entertaining a group of clients, partners or staff, including VIP clients, at Grand National Day without lining up separate suppliers for the travel and the hospitality. It works for relationship-building days out, for rewarding a team, and for client entertaining where the shared journey there and back counts for as much as the afternoon at the racecourse. The appeal of the format is a single point of contact for the group rather than a day pieced together from separate bookings. For Saturday 10 April 2027 none of it is on sale here, because nothing has been released to Prestige Corporate Events.

How it compares with arriving at Aintree another way

Travelling by British Pullman is one of several ways for a corporate group to reach Aintree Racecourse on Grand National Day. What sets that format apart is that the train and the on-course hospitality are arranged together rather than as two separate bookings. A heritage rail operator sells an individual a seat on a day excursion, and a hospitality provider sells a table at the course. Neither is available through Prestige Corporate Events for Saturday 10 April 2027, because nothing has been released.

Nothing for the 2027 festival is on sale on the related Prestige Corporate Events pages either. For wider background on the festival, see Grand National hospitality at Aintree, or the day-by-day breakdown on the Grand National Festival 2027 page. Prestige's broader horse racing hospitality coverage sits alongside both.

Getting to Aintree

Aintree Racecourse is in Liverpool, reachable by rail, road and organised coach beyond the British Pullman train day. Prestige's guide to how to get to Aintree Racecourse covers the routes and station options, and the venue itself, including its year-round facilities, is profiled on the Aintree Racecourse page.
