Some of the most important venues include tennis, at Wimbledon, golf at St Andrew's in Scotland, rugby at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, while Wembley, London and Old Trafford, Manchester are famous football grounds.

Horse racing is also popular, and some of the classic races include the Grand National, at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool. This race has been held annually since 1839.
