Where to book your Ladies Day Champagne Breakfast in Liverpool
5 years ago
Ladies Day at Aintree is one of the biggest events of the year, which is the perfect excuse to start early and make a full day of it.
This year we have teamed up with Aintree Racecourse to bring you the Style Award on Ladies Day. All you need to do is enter the competition when you arrive at the course by getting your photo taken. You could win a Ranger Rover Evoke from Hatfields and a year’s supply of clothes from fashion partner, Chi Chi London.
We started the countdown this week by giving away a bus load of free Ladies Day tickets to passengers on the Ladies Day branded Stagecoach bus. Watch as our Lindzi made the exciting announcement below.
