Aintree international arena

[rachelandcassie]

Has anyone been there? I'm going to be jumping there with a friend this weekend but can't find out much about the place on the interwebs..
The most important question.. does it have a bar for after class drinkies??

Thanks guys

Doesn't have a bar, I am afraid. The place is just fab though,I go quite often as it is just up the road for me, I might be going on Friday evening depending on what time I finish work.

Its a fantastic place, its by far the nicest arena I have been too! It looks like a hotel from the outside!

There is no bar but they always have at least 2 catering vans, so take the wine with you

Surely you don't drink wine do you Emma?

brill place ... shame its shutting for a while.. won't be going this week as off to Rowallan for the weekend intro show

Thanks for the info guys it's always nice to hear good things about a new venue with the amount of pre-competition nerves I get!
I will definately be taking a supply of wine then, feel free to come up and have a drink with us

Very nice place, gets quite busy, but it is shutting for a couple of months while the grand national and races are on.
They don't have a website .

Its lovely! I will be going on friday night with the my 4 year old, then again on sat morning to do his first ever b.nov, so i will be nervous aswell!

Then jumping 2nd class with my other horse.

Just hoping there not too many there on both days, but i think thats wishful thinking!

Good Luck, I am hoping to take my baby horse on Friday night but it depends what time I finish work.
