North West England

Chester’s race season launches with the hugely popular May Festival and puts Chester firmly on the nation’s racing map. Ladies, its fab dress and high heels time!  With a race distance of just over 1.5 miles and a total prize fund of £65,000, the Chester Vase requires our attention!  

What better way to start the season than with the Coutts International Polo Weekend!!!  Running on Friday 31 May and Saturday 1 June 2013, the tournament is a traditional feature on the UK Polo Circuit, and is ever popular with one of the biggest prize pots in the UK.

Set in the beautiful Cumbrian countryside not far from Grange-Over-Sands, Cartmel Racecourse offers a traditional racing experience, attracting many each year to see National Hunt jump racing. 

Lake Windermere is a stunning treasure often described as one of the most picturesque Lakes in the UK. It is also host to the UK’s largest outdoor swimming event, the 3 day Great North Swim.

The event leaps into action with Liverpool day on 4th April 2013. All entertainment will be influenced by Liverpool based acts and performances. At the Aintree pavilion, you can be entertained by some of Liverpool’s fabulous bands….
