The Grand National Racecourse was reconfigured around the needs of the users.

The project included placing the stables, new pre-parade ring and main parade ring in a logical, safer sequence.  We also re-located the media suite to the centre of the action and used a tensile-fabric roof to create more space for viewing and greeting in the winners’ enclosure.

Our two new theatre stands provide hospitality and seated viewing across the racecourse — with bird’s eye views along the start and finish strait — while our landscapers have made good use of native woodland species.

The overall result was a heighten sense of theatre and spectator experience with upgraded facilities meeting the needs of the horses, jockeys and visitors.
