Watch the Grand National in an Inn as historic as the race itself
The history of the Grand National can be traced back as early as the early 1800s – so where better to watch the races than in one of Ireland’s most historic inns? Step back in time at The Old Inn in Crawfordsburn – located just 15 minutes from Belfast and 5 minutes from the seaside town of Bangor – where the interiors are bursting with character, cosy firelit corners and elegant décor, to enjoy the Grand National as it was meant to be. However, unlike during the 1800s, you won’t have to worry about missing a moment of your favourite horses and jockeys in action.
The races will be shown on big screens throughout the venue so that you can catch every moment of the thrilling sports event live as it unfolds. As a special offer, The Old Inn is offering £5.95 pints of Tennent’s, Guinness, Heverlee, Outcider, and Bud during race times, so soak up the buzz, sip on your favourite tipple, and enjoy the eclectic atmosphere with fellow racing fans at The Old Inn.
