Aintree launches new Grand National fashion awards you can enter from home – or the pub!

Chic and dapper race lovers can now be part of the Grand National fashion fun after Aintree has launched new style awards you can enter from home – or the pub!

The Grand National Festival is famous for its fabulously-dressed racegoers and, especially, for the sought-after Ladies Day Style Awards given to the best dressed and most sustainably dressed people who are lucky enough to be part of the action at the course.

And now, whether you’re trackside or not, you can compete in a new online competition which is set to reward style and elegance with some incredible prizes.

It means, for the first time ever, all those Grand National fans who go all out for glamour at home with their mates or attending race parties in the pub – or at restaurants and hotels across the city -can be part of the Aintree style stakes.

Lydia O’Neill, marketing manager at Aintree Racecourse, says:

“This year, we’re thrilled to introduce The Styled By You Awards, a brand-new way for fashion lovers to be part of the race day excitement, no matter where they’re watching from. 

“Traditionally, Style Awards have been reserved for those attending in person, but we believe great race day style deserves to be celebrated everywhere.”

She says whether you’re at the track, at home with friends, or dressed up just to watch the races in the pub, you can now enter for the chance to win hospitality for two at Ladies Day at the 2026 Randox Grand National, plus a luxury hotel stay. 

Lydia adds:

“This is about making fashion at the races more accessible, more inclusive, and more exciting than ever.”

Then upload your picture or video of you in all your race day finery.

The online Style Awards are open to enter from now until Thursday, April 10.

For a chance to win, all you need to do is go online and enter your name, age and email address and let The Jockey Club know whether you’re watching the races from the course or elsewhere.
