The Coral Welsh Grand National – Sunday 27th December

There’s no day quite like it. On Sunday 27th December, the eyes of the racing world turn to Chepstow Racecourse for the Coral Welsh Grand National – the jewel in the crown of our jumps season.

First run in 1949, the Welsh Grand National has grown into one of the most historic and prestigious races in the sport. It has produced unforgettable champions over the decades, with many winners going on to glory in the Aintree Grand National and Cheltenham Festival. Legendary names such as Burrough Hill Lad, Bonanza Boy, Silver Birch and Synchronised have all etched their names into Chepstow’s history on this famous day.

On the track, the feature race – a gruelling test of stamina and courage over Chepstow’s winter turf – is the centrepiece of a superb card of jump racing. The atmosphere is electric as the runners thunder down the home straight, cheered on by thousands of passionate racegoers.

Off the track, this is the ultimate festive day out. With the Christmas celebrations still in full swing, the Coral Welsh Grand National offers the perfect way to enjoy sport, socialising, and seasonal cheer all in one place. From bars and food outlets to hospitality dining, there are options to suit every group – whether you’re joining family, friends, or colleagues.
