Trip to Aintree for first time

RoyalAcademy2

A little unwittingly, I find myself booked on a trip to Aintree for the full Grand National meeting and whereas I had wrongly assumed it would be a 48 hour two-fixture sojourn it now looks like its going to cover FIVE DAYS in all. Help!!

I understand we are staying near the city centre and I need to find some activity(ies) that won't revolve around gambling and drinking.

Any thoughts ?:eek:

By the way, this is not a request for the best brothels as I can only handle two vices at a time!

So hookers, gambling and drinking are a no-no? A crack den perhaps?

pat,
gambling and drinking are a given. I'm looking for alternatives on Thursday or Saturday, sanity before or after two days of debauchery.

Friday racing I'm told is unmissable; apparently the bookies offer decent odds and nearly all the runners are fillies.

I suppose Goodison or Anfield might be an option.

Liverpool at home to Bournemouth on the 5th (Wedneday)
Everton at home to Leicester on the 8th (Saturday)

To be honest I haven't been there yet but I'm also thinking of making my debut for the first 2 days and get out of there before National day but all my time will be used watching racing, gambling,drinking and chasing skirt.

I'm there Thursday evening till Sunday afternoon, at the racing both Friday and Saturday. I won't have a lot of time to do much else but two of the lads with us were thinking on just going to Aintree on the Friday and doing something else on the Saturday. We are staying in Albert dock and there seems to be a few attractions in that area with the Beatles tour thing and a couple of museums all based on the dock.

There's really nothing else to do apart from drinking, gambling and £5 dances

Tour of Anfield ( Get in to see the trophy room ) wouldn't bother with goodison unless your a Everton fan
The Beatles Story is well worth a visit
The Tavern Club
Definietly do the ferry cross the mersey
Theres a few museums
Liverpool is a lovely little city, most things in walking distance
