Racegoers can have exclusive access to the bar during the Grand National
A bar where generations of Grand National winners celebrated their victory offers a fascinating window into the past.
If you have a story you'd like to tell about a quirky or historic building or walk past one on your daily commute, we'd love to hear from you. Please email: [email protected] “I take a lot of tours around here and people say when they go in they can feel the hairs on the back of their neck stand up because that feeling, that anticipation, the jockeys must have felt for years and years is still there in some small way.
But Aintree continues to play homage to the history of the former weighing room inside McCoy’s, where you’ll find silks from Grand National racehorses dating back to 1886 before the building even existed. Open fireplaces which jockeys would have used to warm up after a race can still be seen inside McCoy’s to this day.
