Grand National 2023 organisers issue update on dress code for Aintree

The Jockey Club has issued an important dress code update for those attending the 2023 Grand National.

Dress codes will no longer be in place at any of The Jockey Club's 15 racecourses - including Aintree. The change comes ahead of the 2023 Grand National, which will be taking place from April 13 to April 15.

The removal of dress codes comes as The Jockey Club aims to make events more comfortable and accessible for racegoers. The only exceptions to the the policy are offensive fancy dress outfits or offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports shirts.

A statement issued by The Jockey Club's Chief Executive, Nevin Truesdale read: "We are encouraging you to dress as you feel most comfortable and confident on racedays, as part of our commitment to make the sport as accessible and inclusive as possible and in line with the large majority of other sports.

"Of course, that does not mean we are discouraging you from wearing your favourite suit or dress or reaching for the most glamorous item of clothing for a day at the races if you wish.

"We are just keen to ensure that your enjoyment is not impacted by whether you can only stand or sit in a certain place based on your choice of clothing. All we do suggest is that you bear in mind the good old British weather when picking your outfit!" You can find out more information about the dress code update here.
